Tubes make sense because gravity allows the product to drip/ gradually run down to the cap. Normally with a tube of product you can give it a tap to get the product down to the bottom, squeeze and push every last drop out. OR SO YOU THOUGHT.
When I studied beauty therapy a girl in my class chucked an empty tube in the bin- the teacher lost her shit- literally went on a massive rant and eventually showed us this great tip.
I'm going to show examples of a scrub and a conditioner because they have totally different textures and consistencies but demonstrate how this trick works every time.
1.So you've got a tube of product and it's finished. You've shaken, tapped, squeezed and pushed out as much as you can. It's definitely finished.
2. Get scissors and cut the tube in half...
3. Marvel at how much is still inside the tube even though you yourself got it ALL out before
4. Scoop all product and place in bottom half of tube
5. Slide top half of tube over bottom half as a 'lid'
6. Use the rest up & feel good about not wasting a drop!
Both these two products were on my recent empties post- if you want more info click here!
Biore scrub: reclaimed 4-5 uses
Matrix Conditioner: reclaimed 2-3 uses
This might seem a bit tight but to be honest I personally would prefer the extra product making my skin brighter and my hair smoother rather than being thrown in the trash. Beauty products can be expensive and considering the production, transportation and packaging it makes sense not to be wasteful. While we may wash them down the drain, it makes sense not to throw money down the drain!
I hope this tip has been helpful! What did you think of this tip? Try it and tell me what you think!
