Do you have expired creams or ones that you no longer use? Don’t throw them in the garbage! You have no idea how useful they can still be to you.
Who knows how many times you have happened to rearrange the cabinets in the bathroom and find bottles of products that you no longer use! Body creams, sun creams, shampoos and conditioners, shower gels, all things we bought – maybe because at that moment we liked having that product, with that specific scent, but then when we tried it we didn’t like it at all! Sunscreens are a classic of abandonment: we buy them on offer in quantity, but then they regularly remain there even if they have expired.
This happens because we are induced to be good consumers and buying even things that we relatively need seems to be an imperative! But there is no longer time to behave like this, we have already done enough damage to our planet and we have understood that recycling is important to avoid waste but also to safeguard the environment: all these products end up in undifferentiated waste and the bottles that contain them are all made of plastic! Recycling is vital for us and for the environment.
Let’s see together the alternative uses of creams that have expired or that we no longer use.
As we were saying, we often buy too many creams and cleansers for the body or hair which then remain unused in the cupboards at home and we no longer use (or have expired in the meantime); but how can we recycle them and avoid this waste? There are many possibilities for reusing them, let’s discover them together!
–body cream: they can be reused as a scrub for dry skin: just add some sugar or bicarbonate of soda to the cream, and it will be a perfect exfoliant.
–Hair oils: by their very nature they are perfect for polishing shoes, bags and even furniture! Body oils can also be recycled as lubricants for jammed locks.
How to use expired creams – Biopianeta.it
–Expired body creams: we can recycle them as hair compresses: add a little olive oil or yogurt, depending on our needs, and they will have the same effect as the specific creams we buy for our hair!
–Sunscreens: due to the elements they are made of, they are perfect for polishing dull leather shoes and bags; they also have the ability to clean oxidized objects, which return shiny by passing a small amount of cream on them with a cloth. Sunscreen is also effective for removing excess glue, or the glue that remains when removing a sticker from an object, and for removing ink stains from hands.
–Shampoo and shower gel: they are detergents, so we can use them to wash anything that is not porous, even the car. Let’s not forget the conditioner which is very useful as a softener.
The alternative uses of these products are many and we can avoid throwing them away when we no longer use them or they have expired, but let’s also remember the bottles that contain them: with permanent markers and scissors let’s let our imagination run free and make them into objects for the home so the recycling will be complete!
