Hey there, Shiny Packaging pals! Have you ever wondered what you should do with those empty skincare bottles in your bathroom? Don’t worry! I’ve got some creative ideas for them to have second lives!
Rather than sending them off to the landfill, repurpose your empty skincare bottles! It will save waste and add a little fun into your daily routine.
One suggestion is to use your leftover containers to keep small items like hair ties — or bobby pins and buttons — tidy. And you can use them as miniature vases for flowers or small plants. Piggy banks are also an awesome idea! Just saw a slot in the top and embellish them with stickers or paint.
If you no longer need your empty skincare containers, it’s important to dispose of them properly. A majority of skincare containers are plastic and therefore can be recycled. Just be sure to rinse them out before sticking them into the recycling bin. If they are of glass, and you can recycle them also, or stick them somewhere cute around the home.
Empty containers of skincare can actually be bad for the environment, did you know? When we do discard them, they often end up in landfills, where they can take a long time to decompose. We can also reduce waste and help protect our planet by reusing and recycling the containers once they are empty.
It’s a fun way to reuse and re-purpose your empty skincare packaging! Hungry for even more inspiration? You can transform empty jars into candles, repurpose empty tubes to hold pens or pencils or fashion a bird feeder out of a plastic bottle. Dozens of uses for your used skincare containers!
