LIFESTYLE NEWS - If you have an interest in skincare and have managed to get into the habit of collecting and using a wide range of skincare products, you will know that sometimes it is easy to add new products to your skincare routine before finishing the moisturiser you were using recently.
This often leads to your bathroom and bedroom cabinets being filled with unfinished moisturisers that you may never use again, and may throw away, wasting the products and your money.
These five tips will help you extend the use of your skincare products to avoid having them go to any waste.
Homemade exfoliating cream
Mix a tablespoon of brown sugar to your old or leftover moisturiser that you do not plan to use again to create a homemade exfoliating body scrub.
Apply this scrub to all of the common areas of your body which may appear to be dry. Body scrubs generally help you get rid of dead cells and penetrate the skin faster allowing it to hydrate and absorb moisture better.
Protect your cuticles
After getting high chemical manicures or putting your hands through major labour intensive work, apply some moisturiser to your nail beds and cuticles.
Frequently moisturising your cuticles can increase the circulation around your nails, which will eventually stimulate healthy nail growth. This will also protect your nail bed and cuticles against any future trauma.
