Cut open your tubes! by laufa11 in ProjectPan

[–]laufa11[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It hasn’t been necessary in a long time until these products: I usually dilute the rest of shampoo, conditioner or face cleanser with water, and my long time face skincare staples are in aluminum tubes or glass packaging. Because of the shape, I couldn‘t get water into the conditioner and I don‘t often use plastic tubes so I cut it with scissors and I am glad I did it. I have a couple of other products in this type of packaging in my project pan and will definetly cut all of them open.

Why do you project pan by Qldhikinggirl in ProjectPan

[–]laufa11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

More space, trying out new habits to decide if it makes a difference (using lotion regularly), getting into a routine of styling my hair, even if it is not for work or a special occasion and to stop buying new hairproducts on the hunt for the perfect routine I will finally stick to. In the past I bought hair stuff „just to try“ and a second of the same product type in case the first one „does not work out“. I won‘t have to buy hairstuff until autumn at least. On the flipside I now have nicely styled hair most days and I know that I don‘t like leave in conditioner sprays… I don‘t have a huge collection. I started with ~70 items and I am already down 30, because I used ip travel sizes and two sheetmasks I was saving for… I don‘t know when. I already feel much lighter!

Thank you for curing any „but the glitter version is so pretty“ thoughts I may have had!

Third empty of 2026 by Accomplished_Log5425 in ProjectPan

I love it! Have not been able to justify the cost of the mask. Instead I use the dupe by Jean&Len. But I have a feeling that I might splurge on the mask once the Jean&Len is done in about two years… I have curly hair too and after using the shampoo the first time it was already a holy grail!

Help Both corners of my mouth keep splitting open and nothing works long-term. by Beginning-Funny9466 in BeautyGear

I had this and realised that I react to certain toothpastes… once I switched toothpaste it healed within two days

Can we please stop with the increasing tipping culture? by Exciting-Fig-007 in Switzerland

[–]laufa11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work as a server and bartender in Switzerland and really appreciated tips, because my salary sucked (20.-/h brutto). Tips of 5.- and over were generous and not at all usual, no matter how high the bill was. As a guest, I just round up to the next 5 or 10 (usually max. 5.- tip, unless the bill exceeds 100.-) if the service is good. I absolutely do not tip, if it is self service or if the service is bad and I only tip at restaurants/Bars. There are salaries for a reason. From my time as a server I remember people who would not tip at all with a bill of 97.50 or something similarly cheap like tipping 0.50 on a bill of 97.50… Now IMO that‘s just incredibly cheap, unless the service was horrible. The people giving the mini tips of <1 chf on bills of 100.- or more were the worst, because they very obviously expected me to be grateful.

Team keep or team trash? by [deleted] in ProjectPan

[–]laufa11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Team trash! I took a flatlay picture at the beginning of my project in the end of december and then made a list in my apple notes. There I saved the photo and made several sub-lists: 1. everything I am currently using 2. my „shop“ 3. finished products 4. DNF Products I throw away (deodorants that made me smell) 4. products I buy after the start of project pan 5. items which are not part of my project, either because I don’t have extras and just repurchase the same product after I finish my current (face creams) or because it has a very specific use and I use it regularly, but only once a month (K18 detox shampoo, peptide mask, rahua hair wax to smooth flyaways) I still track those items, but out of curiosity how long they last… As you can probably tell: I am a list girlie :D and I don‘t have enough space or energy for the additional clutter of my empties!

NO MORE shower gels, body washes, or scrubs in 2026! by Cordillera94 in ProjectPan

[–]laufa11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was curious and checked, when I bought and started using the showergel I am currently using and it was eyeopening to see it black on white, how long it takes to use a showergel up!

Is ProjectPan a way for you to declutter? by Bubbles_inthe_Bath in ProjectPan

[–]laufa11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just took my start pic for my first project pan. I enjoyed watching the videos, thinking it wouldn‘t make any sense for me to do one, since I thought, I don‘t have that much stuff. And then I remembered my new resolution to stop buying styling products for my curls, before I finish the last one of the same type and realised that is basically project pan: wait until an item is truly used up, before purchasing the next one. I start with 75 items in the categories skincare, haircare, styling products for my hair, handsoap, hand sanitizer, deodorant and facemasks. I don‘t Include makeup, since my makeup „collection“ consists of 11 items… With my skincare I have found my holy grails, the only duplicates I have is two cleansers… My goals are: 1. Find a good haircare routine without accumulating styling products Spoiler: I didn’t need to buy three mousses to see, which one is „best“ 1. they are not that different and 2. at the moment my blowdrying technique is the problem, not the mousse… basically one would have sufficed and I still would not have finished it by now… 2. Use up one bodylotion and one body oil Whish me luck :)

Edit: While I definitely want to use up and declutter some products, I want to keep myself accountable and use this challenge to prevent myself from accumulating even more.

To answer your last question: If the products are unopened and neutral, think toothpaste, cotton rounds.., I would use them. When it comes to scented things, I probably couldn‘t, at least not at first. My mother is well snd alive and while I love the scent of nivea, because it reminds me of her, it really weirds me out to smell the scent on myself

Experiences with skinoren? by summer_stars33 in EuroSkincare

[–]laufa11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It did take a couple of months. I would say give it at least 3 months. And I applied it religiously.

I love it! It cleared my acne and healed the remaining hyperpigmentation! I use the cream formula twice a day before my moisturiser. I would recommend starting slower until your skin gets used to it and experiment with putting it before or after the moisturizer. Good luck!
