What do you do with your unwanted toiletries?

So in my (ever lasting) quest for perfect hair, skin, body etc, I buy a lot of products which don't end up suiting me. It seems a real waste to tip them away. They won't sell on eBay as often they are not particularly expensive to begin with. I try to buy travel/trial sizes first but the smart/less confident companies don't always do these! TIA

Give them to friends,or if they're still saleable,to charity shops.

I donate mine to giveandmakeup. They distribute toiletries and cosmetics to women's shelters.

face creams etc get used as hand cream.

Make up gets given to DD (I'm terrible for buying the latest mascara that turns out to be full of false promise)

Shower gels/soap etc get used by DH at the gym.

If unused them pack them off to the school fairs on bath&beauty donation day

Any shower gels or bubble baths that I don't want to use on my body get decanted into handwash dispensers and used up that way.

I use up old conditioner in place of shaving foam on my legs.

I think Woman's Aid accept early new toiletries
