Just wondering the best products you have found that didn't work well for what they were meant to do but rather than throwing it away used for something else that was brilliant

I use the Linden Leaves body oil for my face. Best oil, just beautiful.

I have a few products that I didn't like for various reasons, and repurposed them instead of throwing them out:

- Facial cleansing oil repurposed as a shaving oil
- Face serum repurposed as an after shave serum on my legs
- Facial exfoliator used as a body scrub
- Night cream used as body moisturiser

Conditioner as shaving cream is a classic

Definitely conditioner as shaving cream or body wash as hand wash

I use body wash as a handwash as well if I don't like it. It's usually the bottles that annoy me more than the product though, the ones that squirt product everywhere.

I will use a body wash or shampoo as a hand wash if I dont like them for their intended use.

I use conditioner for shaving and if I don't like a shampoo or body wash I'll use it to clean the shower. If I want to use a perfume up that will be used as an air freshener.

If I don't like a perfume for my self I use it as toilet spray. If I don't like a product I also will give it to my flat mate haha. Once tooth brush is old I use it to clean things like the shower etc.

I also use an old toothbrush for those hard to reach places around the taps in the bathroom
