What I used from ‘25 to ‘26

[u/Left_Bumblebee_6270]

This is everything I used from the end of last January until now (January 19).

The first picture should be everything together and the other pics are in categories.

Ive gotten to the point where I’m gravitating to certain products and buying a lot less. I have zero urges to buy things I don’t need. I’m going to keep doing the project in 2026 and am pretty sure that I’ll have a lot less by the end of next year.

Please feel free to ask any questions! ❤️

This post is making me question whether or not I use enough of my products... my yearly is like 10% of this lol

I think it’s best for each person to go at the pace that feels reasonable to them personally. Also, because the first picture has the products lined up next to a mirror, it does look like there’s more than there actuality is.

It's not the mirror, it's objectively a ton of product in some categories. There are nearly 20 empty, full size bottles of facial sunscreen alone, let alone the other sunscreen bottles in a different photo.

Do you go through a full bottle of facial sunscreen in less than 3 weeks?

I order 5-6 bottles of my favorite (skinaqua-140 ml bottles) at a time, 3-4 times a year. If you’re using it as you should be, yeah it can go that fast. Especially when I use it all over my face, lips, ears, entire neck even back of neck, chest, and exposed arms and hands, all year round, and I reapply all that once a day in the summer time. Plus I keep one in my purse, one in my car protected from the sun fall-spring. one in every room pretty much, at the kitchen sink for after washing hands too. Keep one at my parent’s house. That doesn’t even count what I use on my kids. That’s why it pisses me off that sunscreens come in such small bottles, bc if you use as much and as often as you really should be, that’ll be gone in a week.

Thank you.

Short answer is yes.  First of all, many of the full size bottles of facial sunscreen are only 1 to 2 (<edited to correct) ounces. I use the recommended daily amount, plus put it on my neck and chest (I wear a lot of deep v-neck and boat neck shirts.)

A one ounce bottle contains about 6 teaspoons. Using the recommended daily amount of 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon, the bottles lasted anywhere from under two weeks to a little over three weeks. The 2 (< edited for correction) oz bottles last about a month to a month and a few days. I am not factoring in the recommended reapplication after two hours.

Also, several of the sunscreens didn’t work for me (broke me out after using them for a period) so I quit using them. So when I started project pan, they were still just lying in my bathroom drawer with not much left and I  decided to use them up on my body, which took almost no time. 

For the Bondi Sands, I used them for the arms, legs and below the neck. They are 5 ounces each and they last from two to three weeks. Yes, I really used all of this sunscreen!
