5 Reasons Why Your Business Needs Lotion Bottle?

14 Apr.,2024

 

Applying body lotion is one of the few inexpensive ways that people can pamper themselves. Bath body lotion seals moisture into the skin to prevent drying, while body care lotion softens rough elbows and heels, along with other dry areas of the skin. A quality body skin lotion can work wonders on scaly, dehydrated skin that feels rough and looks unattractive, and hand body lotion works especially well on the hands and feet, but can be applied all over the body. As millions of users will agree, body lotion provides many benefits to people who make time to use it on a regular basis.

1. Re-hydrate dried skin.

People who work in harsh climates often apply body lotion on a regular basis, perhaps even daily. Skin that is chapped or dried from wind, cold, or heat can be hard to treat with regular cosmetics. Some people have sensitive skin. No matter which type of climate they live in, their skin can become dry and irritated easily, sometimes even from indoor heat. Quality body lotion, applied after each shower or bath, can help to seal moisture deep in the skin to keep it hydrated and supple. It may not be a bad idea to keep a bottled of your favorite scented body lotion on hand for an after-bath application.

2. Replenish extra dry or rough spots on the skin.

Even if your normal skin type is oily or normal, you might have rough areas on your body, like around the elbows or knees that could benefit from skin lotion applications after a bath or at bedtime. With regular use, a replenishing lotion can ease rough skin and make it as smooth and silky as the rest of your body.

The plastic bottles used to package common bathroom products like shampoo, lotion and body wash are indeed recyclable. But if you’re looking for a creative way to repurpose them first, there are loads of options to choose from.

Stuck for ideas? Check out these five inventive craft projects that transform the humble plastic bottle into everything from useful storage to home décor.

1. Cell phone charging caddy

Make It & Love It blogger Ashley Johnston was sick of tripping over obnoxious wires while she and her husband charged their smartphones, so she came up with this ingenious solution.

Created from an upcycled lotion bottle, this convenient caddy makes it easy to charge your phone at any outlet without leaving a trail of wire across the floor.

Not one to let her functional caddy go undecorated, Johnston used a simple technique to attach a piece of scrap fabric for a pop of color. How clever!

2. Plastic bottle necklace

This chevron statement necklace is so chic and sophisticated, you’d never guess it was made from reused plastic bottles.

Marta of the Spanish-language blog 2nd Funniest Thing used a laundry detergent bottle to complete her project, but you can easily apply the same technique to rescue empty bottles of lotion, shampoo and other bathroom products from the blue bin.

3. Hanging storage bins

Another savvy idea from Ashley Johnston of Make It & Love It, these hanging bins are perfect for the office, craft room or anywhere you need a bit of extra storage space.

Created with a simple cutting technique, this storage setup is versatile enough to be made from whatever empty shampoo or lotion bottles you happen to have around the house.

After you’ve completed your bins, attach them to a piece of plywood for wall-mounted storage wherever you need it.

4. Bright and bold mobile

Perfect for a playroom or nursery, this colorful mobile is made almost entirely from recycled shampoo bottles.

Dreamed up by Kimberlie Kohler at B.B. Bellezza, this fun hanging mobile is held together by embroidery floss and ribbon — two materials the blogger happened to have on hand — but she encourages readers to get creative and stay away from the craft store.

“This project doesn’t take long at all and there wasn’t a cost since I just used what I had around the house,” Kohler writes on her blog. “If you don’t have actually what I used, get creative and use another string.”

5. Recycled owl kids’ project

Made from recycled shampoo and soap bottles, these darling owls are the perfect project for a lazy afternoon at home with the kids.

Karin Schaefer of the bilingual blog Pysselbolaget and her 9-year-old daughter Freja used simple materials like craft paper and sequins to decorate their owls, but you can use whatever crafting materials you happen to have on hand. Get creative!
