In life, there are often expired products, especially for food. If you can't finish eating it and it expires after a while, what can you do with it? Of course, throw it away. Many people do this, which not only wastes resources but also pollutes the environment to some extent. Therefore, I will share with you several uses for expired yogurt. They are super practical!
What can you do with expired yogurt?
1. Watering plants
Using expired yogurt to water plants is a way of waste utilization. However, there is a trick to it. Usually, when using yogurt to water plants, it forms white clay blocks on the surface of the soil, affecting the beauty of the plants. Therefore, first dilute the yogurt with water in a ratio of 1:1.5, then dig a small hole with a flower shovel, pour in the diluted yogurt, and fill it with soil. This can help the plants better absorb the nutrients in the yogurt.
2. Skincare
As long as the yogurt isn't expired for too long and doesn't have a strange smell, it can be used for bathing and facial cleansing. The lactic acid in yogurt has the effect of softening the keratin layer, thus making it suitable for skincare.
3. Hair care
First wash your hair, then dilute an appropriate amount of yogurt with a little water (don't use too much water to avoid losing the stickiness of the yogurt). Apply the diluted yogurt to wet hair and massage the wet hair for a few minutes with your fingertips. Then rinse with clean water. This can make your hair shiny and glossy.
4. Mopping the floor
Dilute expired yogurt with water in a ratio of 1:2 and soak a dry cloth or mop in it. Squeeze out the excess water and use it to wipe (mop) the floor. This can make the floor shiny like waxing.
5. Polishing leather shoes
Expired yogurt can also be used to polish leather shoes, preventing the leather from drying and cracking and maintaining the leather's quality.
