Sometimes we want lightness; We don't want to hear about oils, or rich creams, or eternal showers, or complicated textures... And other times we simply don't like the product anymore and there is no more tutiya; We have been confused or we have liked it for a while and no longer, that's how capricious we are, that's how changeable. And what do we do? We reuse the cosmetics that no longer fascinate us. Nothing is thrown away here.
It 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 in another area of your body". Look how to reuse 5 products that you may stop wanting:
1. The cream with a rich texture, for complicated areas
I like a gel cream, a light one... What do I do with the ultra-rich regenerating fantasy cream that I used a fortune? Apply it to the areas that are going to be most affected precisely when you don't feel like using that cream. Touch your knees, and your elbows, and your feet, and your hands... They are crying out for you to put down the bottle of body milk and give them something more special. Apply that rich face cream, don't suffer, those areas They also deserve your attention. On feet and hands, use it at night as a mask. And 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 lighter moisturizer, one that hydrates but is cool and light, like Fresh & More by Huxley, gel , or Calm & Soothe Whip Moisturizer by Glow Hub.
2. Face oil, for hair
You either love them or hate them, there is no middle ground with oils. But it is true that due to seasons and/or seasons they become harder for us to use. This is when your hair will be delighted if you apply a few touches of Rosehip BioRegenerate to its ends. It has one of the highest concentrates in rosehip, which hydrates, repairs and renews the hair fiber that suffers so much from exposure to the sun and heat.
Substitute: one thing we tell you, in moments of exposure to the sun, this oil recovers the skin that gives pleasure. Don't dismiss it so quickly out of laziness. And if you discard it, apply a good moisturizer, there is no option to remove it all.
3. The gel scrub for the feet
You may be, like many of us, one of those who have switched to dry exfoliation brushes. Look how nice it is to see those dead skins come out and that tingling that says "hey! I've activated your circulation and your legs have woken up." Don't leave your poor exfoliant in the shower, use it on your feet: massage it well on the soles, between the toes, on the instep. And, incidentally, in the hands.
Substitute: on the body you can continue using the gel scrub, it is an alternative when you have less time or you want something more tasty than a dry exfoliation brush. We love this one from Bloom & Blossom.
4. Cement sunscreen, for neckline and hands
Maybe saying "cement" is going too far. But we all have that sunscreen that bothers us on our faces, which is a pain to apply. Okay, don't apply it to your face, but don't throw it away; apply it on the neckline - why do you usually forget that area ? - and on the hands, they are two parts that we usually forget and where spots appear through a tube and suffer photoaging of the former, along with the face That SPF won't bother you there, on the back of your hands, either.
Substitute: it must be said that we do not have any cement protector because we cannot support them, if you are looking for a nice one, the SPF50+ from Standard Procerdure and the SPF50 from
5. Makeup base, mix it with moisturizer
You may not feel like putting on makeup, nor do you want to feel like you're wearing "something" on your face, but you do want a little color. Mix your foundation with the 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 reason, we recommend the makeup base that we use in summer, Super Serum Skin Tint by
Do you know how you can use The Impossible Glow in Bronze tone? Look:
