6. Loosen Zippers and Sticky Drawers
Rub a little sunscreen on a stuck zipper or drawer track. It acts as a makeshift lubricant to get things moving smoothly again.
7. Remove Makeup or Face Paint
In a pinch, expired sunscreen can double as a gentle makeup remover—especially for waterproof products. Apply with a cotton pad and wipe away. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
8. Shine Car Interiors
Use sunscreen to polish vinyl or plastic surfaces inside your car. It adds a nice sheen and even offers a bit of UV protection, helping to prevent cracking and fading (despite the expiration).
9. Protect Outdoor Furniture
Rub expired sunscreen on plastic or metal lawn furniture to form a protective layer against moisture and light dirt buildup. It won’t be perfect, but it’s better than nothing—and eco-friendlier than tossing it.
10. Quiet Squeaky Hinges
Don’t have WD-40? Expired sunscreen can act as a temporary fix for squeaky door or cabinet hinges. Apply sparingly and wipe off excess to avoid attracting dust.
A Few Cautions:
- Never use expired sunscreen for UV protection—it may give a false sense of security.
- Always test on a small, hidden area first to check for staining or surface damage.
- Store expired sunscreen safely out of reach of children or pets.
Instead of letting that old bottle go to waste, turn it into a multitasking household helper. It’s a clever way to save money, reduce waste, and extend the life of products you already own.
