Cut End Off Of Lotion Tube

Can't get lotion out of that tube? There's plenty left after you've squeezed as much out as you can! Cut the end off with scissors. For small tubes, your finger can get the rest out. for those longer tubes, make your own swab by using a wooden BBQ skewer, or a chopstick and a cotton ball. Scoop out the rest of the lotion and pamper your hands, elbows, and knees with the rest of what's left!

For years I've done the same thing with toothpaste, just cut the end off and reach in there with my toothbrush, get like three weeks more toothpaste!

I also shake the tube up and down, to shake the remaining lotion down from the sides. If you cut the end off to get the rest, just use a regular cotton swab because what is suggested in making one, you could buy a whole box at the dollar store for the same money. So what if you get some on your hands as you reach in the tube with the regular sized cotton swab. It's hand and body lotion, to go on your hands and body!
