Tip 1: Follow manufacturer instructions. Most skincare brands test their products extensively to arrive at ideal “dosages” to help ensure customers achieve their desired results. With Pevonia, our formulas are highly concentrated so a little goes a very long way. For example, if a face oil says to apply one to two drops, don’t apply five. Or, if it says to leave on a mask for 15 minutes, don’t sleep in it. Trust that we have a reason for our usage directions plus that means a more cost-conscious skincare budget!

Tip 2: Consider your specific skin's needs and the season. While you can be more sparing with a sheer layer of moisturizer in the humid summer, you will want to apply a slightly more generous amount during the winter to seal in precious moisture and appease parched, dry skin. The same applies to your serums/intensifiers.

Tip 3: Believe that there is such a thing as too much. Clogged pores and milia (small, hardened white bumps) or redness and flaking are signs you may have been too heavy-handed. Using a product more frequently than recommended can have similar effects. Pevonia products are specifically formulated to be non-occlusive so there’s no need to worry when applied as recommended. However, if you plan to apply products to your face, neck, and chest too, you will want to adjust amounts accordingly.

Note: Slugging, the social media trend involving extra-thick layers of Petroleum Jelly intended to achieve “glass skin,” is ill-advised. The occlusive nature of Petroleum prevents skin from breathing and can lead to pore clogging and skin thinning.
