Your Opinion – How do I use Products I Do Not Like?

Swathy · February 6, 2017 · 5 Comments

There must be a stash of products which we buy on a whim but never end up liking them. I always wonder what do people do with such stuff especially when those beauty products turn out to be very expensive or at least cost enough that we can not simply donate them. What do you do? How do you use products you do not like? Do you toss them or use them in an alternate way? What do I do? How do I use the products I do not like?

How do I use the products I do not like?

Cleansing Milk, Face Washes and Toners

Cleansing milk is something which I run out of every time so mostly I end up using them. There are really very few cleanser products I do not like. I do have Vichy miceller water which I am using as a final wipe after using the cleansing balm to remove the final sunscreen residue and follow with a face wash.

For face wash products I do not like, I double them up as body washes for travel purposes and use them up. It works both ways for me. And, for toners, I use them to dilute my cleansing milk so they get finished up pretty well.

Your Opinion : Do You Use the Expired Products?

Good morning ladies and gents! And, welcome to the first post of 2017. I thought what would be a better way to start the year than taking stock of all the expired products in your shelf.

Wish you all a very Happy New Year. May it make all your dreams come true!

Okay, what I am going to confess is a cardinal sin. I do use expired products, even the food items sometimes. I am not very cautious with the dates! Well, most of the times. It is not negligence but a will born out of not wasting anything, especially if I know it would not go bad in the specified time. When was the last time wheat flour went bad just because I could not finish it in 3 months? Right?

Same applies to expired products in skin and hair care section. Of course, there are categories of products which should be discarded after their expiry dates and some can be safely used beyond them. You should just know how to choose the correct ones. So, let me mention a few products I use unabashedly even if they expire.

Hair Oils or generally Oils of any kind for Skin, Hair or Cooking

Oils are generally not considered to be expired products even beyond their before use date. Unless they become rancid, they are good to use.

I tend to store my oils properly so they never get rancid till I finish the oil. Same goes to cooking oil category and cleansing oils as well but not if they are not pure oils, mind you.

Your Opinion – Do You Like Sheet Masks?

Face Masks are the ultimate ways to relax. Different ones provide different benefits but I love the hydrating ones. But, one problem which I have with all the regular face mask is they need to be washed off. Mostly it gets very messy, especially when you apply it on the neck. And, this is when sheet masks come to the rescue.

Sheet Masks have been in the market for quite a long time now. Earlier I had used a few from the Korean brands available at New U. I have even forgotten the name of the brand. But, that is not the point. So, what I wanted to talk about today was if you like using sheet masks as opposed to the regular face masks.

Sheet Masks are less Messy

Cut the pack open, take out the mask and adjust it properly on the face according to the contours and you are done. Opening the sheet mask can be a little tricky sometimes if there is a lot of serum.
