Utilize your resources:
Many of us are guilty of discarding an old product we might no longer wish to use in favor of trying something new. Now, this might be the case since the product isn’t the best fit for you, but that doesn’t mean it should end up in the trash. “If something isn’t your color or isn’t working for you, consider selling it on Poshmark, offering it up to your local Buy Nothing Facebook group (makeup, even used makeup, goes like hotcakes in my group), or giving some to a friend who loves to experiment with new-to-them products,” advises eco-lifestyle expert Ashlee Piper.
