How to clean up your bathroom
Woman`s Day has prepared practical recommendations on how to organize the storage of cosmetics and hygiene products in any, even a very small bathroom.
Let your “consumables” – cotton swabs and disks – always be in sight. Choose transparent containers to store them so you know when supplies are running low. And you will be able to replenish them on time, no longer getting into a situation with all the nails clean from varnish … except for one.
And store all the brushes in an upright position – then you do not have to clean the boxes and the cosmetic bag from the remains of powder, eyeshadow and blush.
Don’t hide rolls of toilet paper
Probably, you have ever found yourself in two awkward situations: first, you are in your toilet and suddenly the roll of toilet paper has run out; the second – you are in the toilet with friends and suddenly the same roll has ended. Agree, climbing through other people’s drawers and shelves in search of a new roll is still a pleasure. To avoid such scenarios in the future, store your paper stock right there, by the toilet, within arm’s length. A wicker basket, a cylinder-shaped glass vase and other creative gadgets are suitable for this. As for scenario number two, hopefully your friends will read this tip too.
Daily creams – at your fingertips
The skin care products you use day in and day out should always be at hand – on the sink or washbasin mirror. The rest – suntan lotion, tampons, toothbrushes for guests – take away.
To save money on your travels, stock up on small bottles and bottles, and when it’s time to travel, fill these travel containers with shampoo, gel and conditioner from regular large bottles.
If every inch of your cramped bathroom counts, take a look up. Why not take over the space of the ceiling! The tiered fruit vase is perfect for creating an extra storage system. It can be hung in the corner of the shower stall or above the bathtub and shampoos and gels can be placed in it. Its mesh structure will allow you to dry children’s toys and washcloths on it – water will unobtrusively flow into the bath bowl.
Overdue funds – in the trash
Even the most beloved lotions and creams lose their effectiveness over time, and what a scent they acquire … Check your old stocks and throw away what you have not used for a long time. Many cosmetic products have a so-called “expiration date after opening the package”: look for it on the label next to the letter “M” – this code indicates the number of months during which the cream is effective. On average, eye cosmetics are suitable for about six months, tone – a year, and lipstick – two. Please note that some products do not contain preservatives, which means that their shelf life is shorter.
Shopping bag – in business
Your Hairdresser Kit needs to be organized well too – keep your curling iron, hairdryer, numerous brushes and combs, mousses and sprays in your shopping bag. The most important thing is that it has a lot of pockets and compartments.
When you add beauty, hang the “bag” on the door handle, and then put it in the closet. Remember to wrap the cord around your hair dryer so you can waste time untangling the wires next time.
Often in the mornings we have only 10 minutes to get ourselves in order and jump out of the house – and there is not even a second to search for the necessary shadows in the jumble of a drawer or cosmetic bag. In order not to waste time, arrange a special storage system for home decorative cosmetics with a bunch of small compartments. A regular plastic cutlery rack is perfect for this purpose. Put it in a drawer and distribute the “beauty tools” in it – separately shadows, blush, lipstick, and so on. And when buying new cosmetics, choose compact options so that they can easily fit into your storage and the drawer can move safely.
In order to track how long you have had a particular cosmetic product, write the month and year when you started using it on a piece of paper and stick it with tape to the bottom of the bottle. If you start to doubt the validity of the cream, just look at your mark. The question will disappear by itself.
