i’ve been using instant openness one spray to each forearm, and i was wondering if i could save a couple of dollars by buying the double strength version and just using one spray to one forearm and rubbing it in to the other one. ya i know this is a semi-stupid question and i’m splitting hairs…but just wondering ---

If you’re using 2x sprays of 1x strength, why not use 1x spray of 2x strength? ---

In theory 2 sprays of instant openness 1X is equal to 1 spray of instant openness 2x, so I’d say that your theory is sound. Hell that’s why I always try to buy the 2x versions of the instant line so I could save a few bucks in the long run. Plus if you ever wanted to play with high doses of instant openness, you’d have half the neroli stink… which is a good thing. ---

I bought a bottle of 4x [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) because I’d gone through my first bottle so quickly. It definitely ended up saving me money in the long run. ---

it did in fact save me money, however… my issue was after i bought a bunch of double strength everything i was thrilled with the quality but when i wanted to be very specific with my dosing i couldnt wear any given product in more than one place. IO i like to wear more than just on my wrist. same with just about every mix. i ended up going back to regular strength just so that i could spread it around more. nothern hemisphere gets a spray southern hemisphere gets a spray 😃 ---

The other advantage of higher concentration is fewer sprays = less [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) odor which can be a little overpowering when using multiple sprays. ---

Once you know your dosage, if you find you use more then 2 sprays of something you can save by upgrading. I do agree with Lor though, The more area you cover with mones the better they diffuse and the better they diffuse the better the hits. Upgrading makes that impossible to do really. Wrists are really not a great application points to begin with. They do have pulse points but I find they dont diffuse well from the wrist. However you can spray some on your wrist and wipe it up the jaw line or to the neck but it still makes the application area less then when you just mist it on. I have Ishine all the way up to 8X and IO and IH at 4X but I find 2X works best for my dosage’s because I can still use this one to more then a few application points. Tisha
