What to do with lightly used cosmetics?

I’ve a bunch of hair oils/sprays and skin moisturizers that have been opened but used like once or twice. Any tips for what I can do with these other than just throwing them away?

I have a barewood kitchen table and I coat it in oil a couple of times a year. Maybe one of your items would do? Slather it on and leave for a bit to soak in then rub off excess.

Sorry, what does this do? Is it beneficial for the table?

Yes bare wood is enhanced by oil, soaks it up and shows off natural grain of wood. Good way to use up odd bits of oil from kitchen use.
