Sometimes We want lightness; we don't want to hear about oils, or rich creams, or endless showers, or complicated textures... And other times we simply he product already We don't like it and there is no other option; we have been confused or we liked it for a while and no longer, that's how capricious we are, that changeable. And what do we do? We reuse cosmetics that no longer fascinate usNothing is thrown away here.
Is a key point of Our manifesto"We promote conscious and meaningful purchasing. Finish every last drop or give it to a friend." In this post we add a third possibility: "or reuse it on another area of your body." Check out how to reuse 5 products that you may no longer want:
1. The rich texture cream, for complicated areas
What a pleasure a gel cream, a light one... What do I do with the Ultra-rich regenerating fantasy cream in which I have left myself a fortune? Apply it to the areas that will be most affected, precisely when you do not feel like using that cream. Touch your knees, and your elbows, and your feet, and your hands... They're crying out for you to put down the bottle of body lotion and give them something a little more special. Apply that rich face cream, don't suffer, those areas also deserve your attention. feet and hands, put it on at night as a maskAnd another trick, put a little on your cuticles while you work or watch a movie, it will improve a lot and your manicure will last longer.
Substitute: choose a moisturizer lighter, one that hydrates but is fresh and light, as Fresh & More by Huxley, in gel, or Glow Hub Calm & Soothe Whip Moisturizer.
2. Facial oil, for hair
You either love them or hate them, there is no middle ground with oils. But it is true that they are harder to use due to certain seasons. That is when your hair will be delighted if you apply a few touches of oil to its tips. Rosehip BioRegenerate. It has one of the highest concentrations of rosehip, which Hydrates, repairs and renews the hair fiber that suffers so much from exposure to the sun and heat.
Substitute: We can tell you one thing: when exposed to the sun, this oil restores the skin in a very pleasant way. Don't dismiss it so quickly out of laziness. And if you discard it, apply a good moisturizer, there is no option to remove everything.
3. The gel scrub for the feet
You may be, like many of us, one of those who have moved on to the dry exfoliation brushes. look how nice it is to see those dead skins come off and that tingling that says "hey! I've activated your circulation and your legs have woken up." Don't leave your poor exfoliating shower, Use it on your feet: massage it well on the sole, between the toes, on the instep.. And, by the way, in the hands.
Substitute: On the body you can continue using the gel exfoliant, it is an alternative when you have less time or you fancy something more pleasant than a dry exfoliation brush. We love this one from Bloom & Blossom.
4. Cement sunscreen, for the neckline and hands
Saying "cement" may be going too far. But we all have that sunscreen that bothers us on the face, that it is a torture to apply it. Okay, don't apply it on your face, but don't throw it away; Apply it to your neckline - you tend to forget that area, right? - and to your hands, which are two areas we often forget about and where spots appear in abundance and suffer from photoaging. of the first, along with the face. There, that SPF won't bother you, on the back of the hands, either.
Substitute: It must be said that we do not have any cement protectors because we cannot stand them, if you are looking for a nice one, the SPF50+ by Standard Procedure and the SPF50 by Mimitika are what you do want.
5. Foundation, mix it with the moisturizer
You may not feel like wearing makeup, or want to feel like you have "something" on your face, but you do want a little color. Mix up your foundation with moisturizer or SPF to make it lighter and give you that natural color without feeling like you're wearing layers and layers of products.
Substitute: If not even for that, we recommend the makeup base that we use in summer, ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint, or a product that was a hit last summer, and this one is still at the top: The Impossible Glow (Bronze)You mix it with SPF and it gives a light tone, like a touch of sun, which is very flattering.
