Most people don't realize that the main purpose of a facial cream is to seal in water. The best way to save money on your creams is to mix a little water in your hand with your cream or lotion and apply gently to a slightly damp face. Your skin will look and feel soft and dewy, not greasey.
This works well with treatment as well as basic moisturizers. You can make your cream last up to 3 or 4 times longer than usual, a nice plus if you use the more expensive brands. This also allows you to customize, as far as cold weather, warm weather, times your skin needs a little extra, etc. It is also best to use distilled water, (about $1.00 per gallon at the grocery store), as it is filtered. This also works well with body lotions.
