Getting ALL the Product from the Tube - January 2016
I have psoriasis, and so the moisturiser, shampoo and conditioner I use is quite costly. ($50 and $11 each) It used to frustrate me that I couldn't get the last drop of product from the tubes, so now, I cut the bottom off the tubes when I can no longer get anything out. I use a small Tupperware container about the size of an egg cup, and I scrape the remainder of the product into that. Because it's a good container, the lid is airtight so the cream doesn't spoil.
I usually get at least 12 months out of the moisturiser, so it's quite economical anyway, but by cutting the tube and decanting the leftovers, I can stretch it out for another 3-5 months easy! That's 5-6 months extra before I have to buy any more. The same thing applies to the shampoo/conditioner. I can get at least an extra month out of the tubes, so I don't have to buy any more quite as quickly.
