5 ideas for dealing with excess serum from your mask
You’ve just finished a mask and your skin looks radiant and healthy… but what do you do with the remaining product at the bottom of the package? If you think throwing away your rich serum is a huge waste, you’re right, so here are 5 ideas for dealing with excess serum from your mask.
1. Neck and décolleté
While wearing your mask, grab the excess at the bottom of the package and apply it all over your neck and décolleté. The ingredients work wonders on these areas because they’re often forgotten about. After removing the mask, instead of washing your face, apply the remaining serum to your face. This will provide your skin with plenty of hydration, and you’ll really see the difference when you apply it to your neck and décolleté.
2. Dry skin areas
Excess serum is perfect for dry areas like knees, elbows, and ankles. These areas are often neglected, are usually very dry, and sometimes look “dusty.” Soaking them in serum will not only hydrate the skin, but also brighten it up. It’s best to apply the serum at night, then apply moisturizer and wear long-sleeved pajamas. This locks in moisture and prevents the product from being wiped off while you sleep.
3. Hands and cuticles
When you apply the mask serum to your cuticles and hands, your cuticles will feel like Christmas is coming. You can even use it after you no longer need the mask. Cut the mask into strips large enough to cover your nails and cuticles, apply the serum to your nails, and then wrap the strips of cloth around your nails to lock in the product and moisturize your nails, leaving your cuticles soft and providing moisture. Hangnails and split cuticles will be a thing of the past the next morning.
4. Homemade masks
You can use the leftover serum to make your own homemade mask! Find a few cotton pads and put them in the package with the leftover serum. Then seal the package and put it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. The expiration date is about two days, so use it as soon as possible. When you go to the refrigerator to take out the homemade mask, you will find that the cotton pads have been soaked with the product, and you can now apply it to your face. Try to pull the cotton pad apart so it is thin and covers your entire face. Avoid the eye, nose and mouth area.
5. Store them
If after all this you still don’t want to use the excess, you can seal the used package, put it in the fridge and use it again a few days later. You don’t have to use a mask. After completing your daily skincare routine, tap the serum into your skin until absorbed, and you’re good to go. This is ideal before applying foundation.
Here are 5 ideas on what to do with the excess serum from your mask! This is a great way to make the most of your mask without creating waste, as excess serum is a powerful substance and throwing it away is a crime!
