Getting the Last Drop Out of Tubes
I worked out this simple tip when my favourite moisturiser tube wouldn't give me any more cream, yet I was sure there was more in there. I simply took a pair of scissors and cut the tube in two. Voila...heaps of cream still inside. Once you cut the tube it is also simple to slot one cut end into the other to keep the air out. I have now done this with everything in a tube. You can save yourself a lot over time.

Editor's note: I do this too, especially with the more expensive creams. When my eye cream appears to be empty I cut the end off the tube and can get up to another month of treatments from it! You can do this with toothpaste, handcream, moisturisers, foundation, just about anything in a tube. I've even done it to the tube of Vegemite we have in the camping tuckerbox and made another loaf of sandwiches! Cath.
