Use ingredients that are about to expire as hygiene/beauty products

As someone living alone, I occasionally find it difficult to use all the ingredients that I bought before they go bad. I recently realized I could use leftover food as skincare and haircare products!

Examples:

• Took leftover coconut milk and combined it with castile soap to turn it into a body wash
• Had yogurt that was about to expire. Mixed it with oil, honey and sugar to make a body scrub
• Too many avocados. Mixed with rice water to turn into a hair mask
• Used banana peel as a brightening face mask, cucumbers as eye mask

I save money on care products + have less food waste. I discovered this in February but wish I had known about this stuff sooner!
