honestly I've got little patience and just slap it on as quickly as possible

Me too!

At least you do something.... ashamed to say many nights in past I brushed my teeth while getting undressed and went to bed with make-up on. Now I wouldn't be able to sleep, but my priorities are different and I have plenty of time.

Never think about it. It is not rocket science. I just put it on.

Pat. No more breakouts since I started patting instead of rubbing.

It's interesting to hear the different methods we are taught. One poster said she was taught to use the middle finger. I was always taught to use the ring finger, because it would give a lighter touch.

Sorry, but I just thought of something. When I am in a hurry I tend to speed up the patting and my daughter asked once why I was slapping myself in the face. {#emotions_dlg.scared}

Re: Do you pat, dab or rub in your face serum and moisturiser?

neither really it's kind of a sweeping / wiping motion up and out, making sure I haven't missed a single spot. And while I'm doing it I'm wondering how much of it Is actually being absorbed?
