I have recently started
getting a lot more use out of some of my beauty products and it works on many
other things too.
You know how so many things
now come in those plastic tubes that stand up on their lids? It gives the impression that when you get to
the end and have squeezed the last bit out that you have used all the
product. After all, it is standing up so
everything will have drained down, right?
Wrong! As the product is usually
quite thick it just clings to the sides of the container.
The top half will fit
nicely as a lid over the bottom part to keep the product in good condition and
it wont dry up.
I have done this with my
shower gel, face wash and my moisturiser.
You can afford to pay for the expensive products when you realise how
long they can last. I have still not finished
the face wash and I have been using it daily since I cut it in half for over 3
weeks now so I think I will get another months use out of it from what I would
have originally thought.
It is quite annoying to
think of all those tubes I have thrown away thinking they are empty when really
there is still lots of product just stuck to the sides. They may say 250ml or something on the
outside because that is the amount that went into the tube but probably 30-50ml
just sticks to the inside of the tube.
It will work with
toothpaste as well if your toothpaste comes in those types of tube. Mine comes in a metal tube that you can keep
folding up to make sure you get the most of the product (the same as tomato
puree tubes).
So think twice before you throw away a tube that you presume is empty and check how much is still inside just clinging to the sides of the tube - you can possible get a whole months more use out of it which will save your pennies, or pounds / dollars in the case of the expensive beauty products.
