Packaging - Bottles are better than cups and jars

Its always better to buy products that are packaged in a opaque bottles or tubes instead of products packaged in a jar or "cup". This is because most quality products contain substances which are sensitive and react on exposure to light and air such antioxidants and vitamins. The result is that it loses efficacy. This is why a product may "not be working" after using it for a while. Also cups and jars expose creams to bacteria and germs in addition to the microbes found on our fingers. Avoid leaving your jar or cup cover open and use a paddle (like ice cream) instead of your hands.Alternatively avoid cups and jars completely
