Tip of the day: Make your scented creams last longer!

I have a favorite scented body cream (fig & brown Sugar from bath & body works) that was discontinued (I believe they brought it back now though) so when I found the last 2 bottles in the store I snapped them up. I wanted to find a way to make them last longer since at the time I thought I would never see this beloved scent again.

I came up with a solution. I simply added a bit my fav scented lotion to a larger portion of unscented lotion, mixed together and voila! I covered my entire body with this scented lotion but only really using 1/3 of what I would have other wise!

I know this seems super easy but I had never thought of it until I was in a bind so I thought I would share :)

Now you can make your favorite scented lotions go a long long way!
Oh and it will cost you less too as you wont have to repurchase as often :)
Pin It!

The scent wont be 100% as strong but play around with the amount of each cream until you are satisfied.

If you want the scent to be stronger apply the scented cream mix right after a shower. It should last longer that way.
