Getting the most out of your toiletries

Our family recently spent 2 weeks in the beautiful Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.  My biggest concern was how the kids, aged 9 and 6, would react to the sun.  So I was sure to bring ALL of our sunscreen bottles, some half full and some completely full.

When the first bottle became 'empty', I remembered something I do with my face wash and creams. 
I cut the end off and scoop out what's left inside.

  

This time, I went one step further and opened up the entire bottle.  Since I didn't have regular scissors, I used a small pair of nail scissors. 

 My favorite part of this was that what was left in this 'empty' bottle completely covered two adults!   I did this again with another bottle, and that one had even more left inside.

Use this trick with any toiletries you have in soft bottles, especially the expensive ones!
