Luckily, there are some tips and tricks to helpconsume sustainably.
According toLife Hacker, all you need is boiling water to get those stubborn drops of cream.
Submerge your product into the hot water and let it bathe for two minutes.
The temperature will soften the lotions and have them smoothly pour out of the bottle.
