New Uses for Old Products

I think every woman has them hidden away somewhere: the products that never made the cut. The conditioner that made your hair limp. The anti-aging cream that made you break out. Well, there's no need to toss out expensive products. Just do what they don all the time on decorating shows, and "repurpose" them. Here are a few ideas:

Hair conditioner makes a great shaving lotion. (This also saves room in your bag on trips!)
Shampoo makes a fabulous lingerie wash.
Anti-aging creams that are too rich or greasy for your face can work beautifully on your decollete, your bust, and even the backs of your hands.
Sunscreen too greasy or too white? Use it as a hand cream!
Foundation too dark. Use it for contouring or as a liquid bronzer. (This trick works best at night - and takes a little skill and lots of blending). You can also use it as body makeup, since your body tends to be darker than your face.

Have you put an old product to new use? Let me know!
