In this article I show you everything you can do with the rest of your sunscreen.
Because once summer is behind us, it's always the same ritual.
We nostalgically put the cream away, telling it until next year, when we won't keep our word.
In reality, either we throw it away, because it has expired, or we buy a new one.
And yet, these creams can be reused in many areas.
Cosmetics, household, cleaning... These lotions are not only used to protect us from the sun!
You did not know it ? Well, I know all their secrets.
Here are 9 grandma's tips for reusing your sunscreen. Watch:
And yes, like a food, an opened sunscreen has an expiration date.
It is also advisable to buy one every year.
So it's not that we risk becoming intoxicated, but the older it gets, the more it loses its effectiveness.
Because once you have opened your tube, its protective properties disappear almost completely after 1 year.
What's the point of keeping it in these conditions you're going to tell me?
Well, look at all the uses you can make of the rest of the sunscreen.
Whether the tube is open or not, do not throw it away!
In addition, these uses are safe even if the sunscreen has expired:
Sun lotions have strong moisturizing powers.
So don't hesitate to apply it all over your body.
It's good for the skin and the smell is reminiscent of the holidays.
In addition, if sunscreens gradually lose their protective properties, this is not the case for hydration.
And it's the same for your after-sun.
This product is also ultra hydrating since it is often enriched with aloe vera or shea butter.
So you can use it without any problem for your body, hand, legs or feet.
Ah yes, a little thing to know too.
The higher the UV index, the greater the greasy effect of the cream and the more difficult it is to apply.
Don't panic though, I have the solution.
You just need to mix the cream with 2 drops of apricot kernel oil.
Your lotion penetrates better and becomes much easier to pass on the skin.
The ends of your hair tend to be dry and damaged?
Apply a small amount of sunscreen to the scalp and ends.
Massage gently, leave to act for about twenty minutes then wash with your usual shampoo.

It's easier at the application level.
And while we're talking about hair, sunscreen can also be used as a styling spray.
Me it gives me a great curly effect.
Do you have the leather of your clothes, your shoes or even your sofa slightly cracked?
Take a clean cloth, put some sunscreen on it and run the cloth over the leather.
The result is not long in coming.
The material becomes shiny, waxed and like new.
Do you use this or this method to burnish your silverware?
Well, I'll give you a third one that's just as effective.
Spread sunscreen on the cutlery to polish them well and make them shine.
Only precaution to be taken; rinse your cutlery well before using it again.
For scissor blades, same sentence.
Apply sunscreen, open and close the scissors, then clean with a cloth.
All the remains of glue on the blades can then be removed very easily.
Did your toddlers have fun sticking stickers all over the house?
Even grandma's beautiful table was attacked!

Be careful, however, not to apply it on your fragile jewelry such as precious stones.
A marker stain is always complicated to erase, especially when it is done on the skin.

A useful tip for all budding little painters!
And yes, sunscreen also allows you to print your own T-shirt!
Do you know how to go about it? It's quite simple.
Take a printed image of your choice, pour sunscreen on it and let it work.
Lay the image face down on the t-shirt and iron it on.
When you see the image begin to crack, the transfer is complete.
Wait a few days before washing the t-shirt.
This way, the image has time to blend in perfectly with the fabric.
Sunscreen moisturizes, but it also soothes the skin very well.
So you can use it after shaving or waxing.
It acts as a real aftershave or as a moisturizing cream for your legs.
So after the razor burn, apply this little homemade trick.
