How Much Product Do You Really Need?

Blowing through your beauty products like Rihanna blows through hairstyles? Your serving sizes may be way, way off

Volumizer
Serving size: A large green grape

Treat volumizers like gel -- too much and your hair gets crunchy. Apply the product to the roots and drag through to the ends. Comb through for even distribution.

Curl Enhancer
Serving size: A cherry tomato

To avoid crunchy curls, work a small amount into damp hair, concentrating on areas where you have the least amount of curl. Then, comb through for even distribution.

Moisturizer
Serving size: An almond for face and neck, a blueberry for just the face

Too much face cream will leave your skin greasy and oily, rather than quenched. No need to rub between your palms before applying. Simply rub it into your skin until absorbed.

Serum
Serving size: A pea

Why: Serums are super concentrated products, so less is always more. King suggests simply tapping a tiny amount onto problem areas until absorbed into the skin.

Acne Treatment
Serving size: A blueberry

To avoid drying out the sensitive skin on your face, only apply a blueberry's worth of product to affected areas (the chin, nose or forehead) rather than the entire face.
