I remember a coworker shopping for legendary La Mer cream (or as it’s listed on the website Crème de la Mer) that his mother-in-law wanted. He mentioned out loud that the 16-ounce jar was 24. Another person remarked “$24 dollars? That’s a really cheap cream. Why does your mother in law want it?” Someone had to point out it was $2,400. He could hardly speak but said, “My car is barely worth that much!”
If I purchased such an expensive cream (there are many women who swear by La Mer…people say the ingredients are the same as Nivea), I would be guarding every milliliter of the cream like my life depended on it. Even with my more modestly priced skincare, I hate using cotton balls or swabs to apply it as it absorbs (wastes) some of the product. I hate getting makeup all over hands, but what else can I do besides use a sponge or applicator? Debi Byrnes, who struggled with severe acne as a teen (and from time to time as an adult) simply wanted a way to apply harsh acne medication without the creams bleaching her fingertips white. Occasionally she would accidentally wipe her hands on her clothes leaving bleach strains there too.
