I've got tons of products in my cabinet that either I didn't like the feel on my face or just weren't doing anything in a positive way. I'm sure lot's of you fit in this catagory as well. I have decided to use them on my hands before I toss them out. My first try will be Skin Ceuticals C E Ferulic and their Hydrating B5 Gel. Has anyone tried doing this with products just sitting in your cabinet taking up space?

A while ago I sent an email to Olay raving about their hand and foot treatment...how it took care of calluses and rough patches...leaving my feet and hands smooth.

I was talking about their facial microdermabrasion kit. Bad Grin

I never got a response...wonder why Rolling Eyes

That stuff was HORRIBLE for my face! In my opinion, the only thing it's good for is my feet and hands! Laughing

I thought I was the only one that did that! My Mario Badescu samples didn't suit my skin, but were dandy on the hands. And I mix St Ives Apricot Scrub 50/50 with hand cream for a body scrub in the shower. (OK...that's cheating--I don't buy the St Ives for my face; I buy it for my body scrubs to use up lotions and creams that I have around and wouldn't use otherwise.)

I like Equate (Wal-Mart brand) Anti-Wrinkle Cream for my hands. I use it at night and in the morning my hands are so soft!

I always use facial products that I don't get on with on my hands or feet. I hate having to throw a half used product away so it makes me feel better to use it somewhere on my body!

I finished Dr. Perricone's Advanced Face Firming Activator as my body lotion in two weeks. Now I'm using Olay Regenerist Thermal Contour And Lift System Kit on my hands.

I can't believe it took me this long to figure this out as to what to do with all these products. It may have had something to do with the fact that last weekend my husband put up another bathroom cabinet for me. There are times I feel I am "loosin' it". Rolling Eyes

Yes! Cleanser is used as a body wash. Moisturisers are on hands, arms, body - everywhere! Toners? Any suggestions? If I am wanting to use them up - I use them lavishly pre-face wash.

Does anyone feel compelled to use their products all up first before spending lots more money? I feel so guilty everytime I purchase (which now I am on EDS is like, almost everytime I'm on the net!) with so many products lying around half used!!

No, that's why the extra cabinet was installed. Laughing

What did you say there? "I tried this cream once..." or just not say you'd used them?

Or did you only sell stuff that came out of tubes?

I have TONS of lotions sitting around and some St Ives under the sink. This is such a GREAT idea. Now ~ I must go to stock my shower. Thanks a ton for the tip!
