Some surprisingly rewarding environmental neuroticism:

When you can't squeeze anymore out, I now take a pair of scissors and cut right across the middle of a quote-unquote "empty" tube of sunblock, so I can then poke my fingers deep inside it and wipe around the inside and scrape up every last possible bit of it that's left...

With my last tube of Neutrogena SPF 70, too, I was able to do that like 4-5 times -- which is quite a lot of sunblock left in that tube that you wouldn't otherwise use, when you think about it!

I also then gently fold the top part of the tube and set it inside the bottom, and depending on where I cut, sometimes the seam is so smooth and unobtrusive that you can't even tell it's a cut-open tube with the top half nestling inside the bottom, the re-ordered image and text parts matching so well, or at least looking that way when you glance at it.
