In the lookout for the "it ingredient", we have our shelves decked up with endless skincare products. The past year has taken our interest in skin care to new heights. From trusting natural ingredients for plumper skin to trying out single ingredient products, trends evolved every now and then. But with stocking up of skincare products, we sometimes realise that not all of them work perfectly on our faces but is it right to dump them right away? Unfortunately no. Here's when we can repurpose skincare products and use them in multiple ways. Repurposing skincare is a new trend that we all need to inculcate in our lifestyle for a less waste and sustainable beauty routine. And to get you started with it, here's a guide on all the how-tos of the same.

1. Face Moisturisers Work Great As Body Moisturisers
We all end up buying skincare products which sometimes do not work for our faces and we then think of dumping them. Sometimes, we even dump products just because. Instead of the face, why not use it as a hand moisturiser or a body moisturiser? Our hands and body need moisturisation too and instead of dumping a product, it's better to bring it to use.
2. Treat The Dry Areas Of The Body With Skincare Oils
Are you done with oils? Well you need not throw them away. A good facial oil is bliss and you can absolutely put it to some other use if you want. Instead of your face, use a generous amount of oil on your cuticles or your dried-out elbows. You can even use a light coat of oil on your lips as well to keep them moisturised and hydrated. These areas of the body also need some extra attention and it's best to do it with skincare oils.

3. Facial Cleansers Can Turn Out To Be Beauty Tool Cleaners
Switched to a new facial cleanser or your old one isn't working on your skin anymore? Well, fret not! You don't need to throw away your beauty picks; all you need to do is find another way to use them. Facial cleansers work great as beauty tool cleaners. Your brushes and sponges are now super easy to clean with this.
4. Feet Mask As Sheet Masks Can Be Used On Feet
Our feet need some well-deserved attention too and did you know that you can simply use your sheet masks on your feet as well? Sheet masks that do not work on your face can easily be used for the feet. Well, why not? Your feet need some rejuvenation too.

5. Toners Can Depuff Your Eyes
A word of caution for this hack. Do it with alcohol-free toners and essences so as to avoid any reaction or itchy sensation in the eye area. Take two cotton pads, soak them in the watery toner or essence and then put them in the fridge for 15 minutes prior to use. Put them over your eyes for about 20 minutes.
