I wouldn’t say it’s silly; it’s good planning! I guess moisturizer should be okay because you’re not using it for specific skin treatments. However, I’m not sure where you reside – you may sometimes need to rotate if you have different seasons where you live as your skin condition differs from season to season.

I buy my moistorizor in twos because it comes from overseas and it’s kinda silly to me just to purchase one product with a shipping fee…
but cosmetically is that not a good idea to buy the same beauty product twice in a row, or just change it per season?

what I do is to alternate my skincare products. I have two different night moisturizers and serums, so I use them on alternate nights. I'm not sure if it's true skin can be immune, but I guess by alternating products, it is one way of preventing skin from being too used to a particular product? Lin: That's a good idea. I don't use the same products everyday too actually.

Actually, it's not so much of our skin becoming resistant to the same product, but because the needs of our skin changes with environment, diets, and even the beauty products that we slather on everyday. Isabelle: Yup, I agree. I think it's more the other way round too.
