Do you throw away sunscreen after it's expired? Take your time, here's what you can come in handy for

We all know that the sunscreen we bought for this year cannot be reused for next year as it expires between 6 and 12 months after which the UV protection runs out. However, instead of throwing it away, we can reuse it for beauty purposes for skin, body and hair, if it has not yet expired.

For example, use the cream as a body cream to hydrate skin that dries out after the sea. The soothing power of the substance remains intact, spread it on elbows and heels and they will be soft again.

A little sunscreen added to brown sugar, coarse salt or coffee grounds is then transformed into a body emollient. It should be spread in a circular motion before you shower, so that the pores are enlarged and the skin is brighter and the nutrients of the face or body cream that we will go through later penetrate more deeply.

Our hair can also benefit from the properties of advanced sun cream, very easily we create a super nourishing pack to apply to the length for about ten minutes, then rinse, continue with normal shampoo. If, on the other hand, you have some tanning oil left, use its softening properties, apply for about 30 minutes and then rinse as we normally do.

On the other hand, when the cream has expired and therefore we cannot apply it to the body, it is useful in undoubted domestic uses. The cream replaces the cleaning lotion for sofas and other leather products such as shoes and bags; polishes dark, oxidized metal and removes paint stains.
