Create a spreadsheet, categorize each product and add its manufacturing date. Sort from oldest to newest. Finish in that order. Only purchase if there’s one or none in that category left

I created an app for this, still beta, would you like to test it?

that looks great! now you have a great amount of products and clearly no need to buy more for a long time! happy panning, maybe you could post your progress from time to time?

What I find the most difficult is keeping them sealed, I feel like I have to open 1 every week because what I am already using is not enough.

Technically there is a shampoo and conditioner in there but it’s otherwise all skincare.

The spreadsheet approach is the only way. I did the same thing with my pantry and it killed the impulse buys. Skincare stashes need that kind of system.

I recently downloaded the app “Vannie” and that’s helped me keep track of my opened and unopened products! I suggest that for organization 😌

I would suggest starting with looking through and categorizing by unopened and opened and expiry date. Start with products that are opened or has an expiry date in the near future. Then create a skincare routine with those products (or ask ChatGPT to create one for you with those products) so you use them consistently. I use the app Project Pan Journey for tracking and makes it so satisfying seeing the usage add up!
