I found this and thought it was great. Good tips on how to get that stuff used up!
So you've got enough stuff to open your own cosmetics counter, here's a challenge just for you.
Finish up as many products as possible. From face wash to tooth floss, put the tube or bottle or jar in the out bin.
Stuff you bought and you like. Not stuff you swear you'd never use again cuz it gave you a chemical burn. Toss that. All your body and face products that you want to use on your body or face is game.
-Take extra steps to use as much as you can or to just be more diligent about it. I've written a couple of tips to get you moving....
-Use old acid moisturizers for Neck and decolatage at night and cover this area daily w/ an SPF moisturizer!!! A very good use for older sunblock, use it up before it expires.
-Older masks: Use as body mask before the shower. Use moisturizing masks on neck, decollate, shoulders, arms, hands, shoulders, knees and drier mask on back and shoulders.
-Use scrubs up first. Don't miss a spot. Get all the old dead skin off. You will be so soft. Use your mostly used up lotions first. Finish them off and make yourself some room to manuever.
-Grab closest to finished body washes and lotions and put them up front, you'll go through these in no time. Or so we hope. Same thing for shampoos and conditioners.
-Store products that you know you won't need this season, just get them out of the way to make choices easier.
-Don't skip a beauty step. Get out all your feet balms and cuticle creams, esp. the one's you like the least, so in the end you'll just have one of each item, and it'll be your favourite.
-Hair conditioner works very well as shave cream.
-Use least product left treatment products religiously. Your smallest or closest to finished eye cream.
-Trial sizes that you actually want to try. Redkin Smooth for example. I'll use the whole series together and see if it does anything nice.
-Figure out which mascaras you bought last and use it exclusively for a while. It will run out in no time.
-nd while you're in there, take out stuff you'll never use and put it up for swap.
