Are you never able to completely finish your tube treatments? This simple and ingenious anti-waste tip allows you to achieve this cleanly, while saving you money on your beauty routine.
A lot of facial and body treatments are wasted because of their packaging in the form of tubes which do not allow them to be finished completely, and make waste some of the formulas that they contain. When we know the price of certain face or body creams, we don’t want to waste even the slightest milliliter of product, just like with our favorite expensive makeup products.
Fortunately, the influencer @MonsieurAstuces revealed an ingenious technique which allows you to recover these famous leftover cream which are nestled at the bottom and on the edges of the tubes when nothing comes out when you press on them, and therefore to spend less money in its beauty products. Especially since when “there seems to be nothing left” he specifies, “in fact, there is still some left and not just a little”. Explained step by step on his TikTok account, this anti-waste tip as effective as the economical technique to no longer waste the rest of the lipstick in your tubes will allow you to make great savings on your beauty products in tubes.

Cut the tube and help yourself: an unhygienic technique that makes care ineffective
Of course, you could think of cutting the tube of cream using a scissor and simply using your finger to use what remains of the product every day. The only downside is that this way of doing things is not at all hygienic and allows bacterial proliferation in the treatment, which is not good for the skin on the one hand.
On the other hand, “it harms the qualities of the cream” rightly points out the influencer. Indeed, if you do this, the cream formula already risks drying out in the open air. But above all, we know that certain active ingredients, like vitamin C for example, do not tolerate being exposed to the open air without degrading and losing effectiveness. So this is clearly not an option.

Tubes of cream: the anti-waste tip to finally finish them
To stop wasting any of your care in tube format, equip yourself with a scissor and then choose a small, clean container, like the plastic ones that we use for traveling and that we use to transport our care when we take the plane.
Cut the tube just below the neck with the scissor and a second time just below the weld of the tube so that it is open on both sides. Then place the tube in the chosen container and insert the cap of the cream tube into the body of the tube, horizontally, before pushing on the cap with a finger to release the remaining cream. Thus, the cap scrapes all the internal edges of the tube well so that nothing is wasted. By doing this with all your tube treatments, this allows you to recover significant quantities of treatment in each tube, and will then allow you to use them calmly as usual without losing safety or effectiveness. We love saving money on our beauty products and limiting waste as much as possible!

An economical tip that also works with toothpaste!
If we often think of creams, toothpastes are also sometimes expensive hygiene products, some of which we waste because we cannot get their formula out of the tube easily when we reach the end of the tube.
