Thanks to the experimental and adventurous nature of mine, my dressing table is forever so crowded with bottles and cans of skincare stuffs. And it is getting worse! 
Many of them are almost or over 1-year old now, which also means - my dear skincare products, time’s up for you babe. You’ve got to go into the bin!
Nevertheless, it’s always difficult to part with your beloved things, right? Especially when you know the price of the stuffs. Yeah, all your (and mine) hard earned money went to those bottles of potion which we believed to be able to revive our youth… haha!
So what can I do if I don’t have the heart to throw them away? Well, I think of ways to ‘recycle’ them - stuffs that are considered expired or I found not suitable for my use after I bought them.
1. A moisturizer that is too rich or oily for my skin? I give it to my mom.
2. Or I use it on the neck instead, or on other areas that tend to be dry, such as elbows, heels, knees, etc.
3. Similarly, if a moisturizer, cream or hydrating essence that is way over its shelf-life once opened (i.e. >1 year), instead of putting it on my face, I use it as a moisturizer for my hands and legs.
4. ‘Expired’ facial wash can be used as hand wash.
5. ‘Expired’ body lotion can be used to wipe off stains or dirts on my synthetic leather handbags. Haha!
That’s how I recycle my old skincare products. How do you recycle yours?
