I've Made the Switch..But What About..?

I am about to talk about a tough subject.
Just to warn you.

I, like many of you, have a cleanser that I am in love with and creepily over-attached to for whatever reason. And I, as you guys probably know (or maybe you don't if you are new..Welcome!) that I am now using natural products and oils to cleanse my face.

Well what happens when your heart starts aching for the familiar caress and lather of your previous cleanser? How do you deal with the heartbreak? How do you end the relationship for good?

Ah, yes. I am dealing with that, right along beside yah sister.



My favourite cleanser is my Purity by Philosophy. I saved up forever for it (well not that long, but still, it ain't cheap) and I bought the 32 fl oz one from Sephora when they had their special on. I have only used about 2, maybe 3, inches of the product. WHY DID I DECIDE TO DO HEALTHY THINGS TO MY SKIN AT SUCH AN INOPPORTUNE TIME?!

Anyways, I have been trying to figure out what to do with my beloved cleanser. I can't get rid of it. Out of the question. But I also can't justify using it, either. Natural products are important to me and the more I look at the ingredients in Purity, the more I want to listen to "We are Never Getting Back Together" by T-Swift.

Anyways I have been brainstorming some possible uses for my chemical-laden-bottle-of-love. Here's what I've got so far:

- Use it on my body where I get breakouts (my back and my chest sometimes get breakouts)
- Use it at/after the gym to remove all my clogged up makeup and sweat and germs. Could also use it on my body for this.
- Use it on my hands after a particularly disgusting day at the barn (udder cleaning anyone?)
- Remove sunscreen? (though this is a weak argument because I would use an all natural sunscreen and oils would get rid of that just fine..)

Overall, probably will keep it for my problem areas on my body and for the gym. But one thing is for sure...I am KEEPING the bottle. I will wash it out and use it to create my own natural mixture in i. Yay, resourcefulness.
