how to avoid your maid to use your skin care and cosmetic products?
Dear BK mum,
I have bad luck in hiring maid, all the maids "steal uses" my skin care products.
As I have only one toilet in my house and it is troublesome to "store" all the beauty products in my bedroom. So, usually, I put all those things in toilet. I was surprised tonight that my maid said "madam, this liquid smells good", she was holding my Alqvimia products.
Can you share any way to avoid the maid to uses your stuff?

Do not use the number lock, use the lock with key. Once I forget the code of my luggage, I tried an hour starting from 0001 to open it. I have one bathroom also, so I put all the usual used cometics products in a basket. Every time I just take the basket to the bathroom. My maid not only uses my products, she uses my 牙線,紙製指甲銼(one pack has five pieces, she left one piece for me only) etc.

would it be cultural diffference or low education level. To us, it is common sense that other people's belonging can't be used without asking, right.
Actually, i told every maid on their first day of duty that pls don't use my personal stuff, if you really need to use, please ask me, i may tell you permit or not permit to use.
All the maids would answer : "sure lah, madam, I can't use your things, they are yours.......bla bla bal." acted like they are so strict and honest. But time passes, their "wolf's tail" comes out.
According to your experience, i have to lock up my beauty products, no other choice lah.

For those things which I must put in the bathroom such as bath gel or cleanser, I will transfer them to glass bottle without any labels. If the helper ever asked me what that was, I will answer her, that was "for me".
