One got tossed because it’s gone off, and another one got all used up today. I am down to my last two or three, now. This is great.
How to use up all my lotions and bath salts
It made me
simplify 
"I went from having 30 pieces of lotions to only 9 pieces in just 3 months! :)"
How I did it: My stock of lotions is getting more manageable now so I've decided to check of this goal although I've not FINISHED every bottle.
I've gotten rid of a whole lot by finishing small bottles, throwing expired products away and giving some bottles to friends and family.
Here are the "after" stocktaking results:
Body lotions = 2 bottles (one with fragrance and one unfragranced)
Body scrubs = 1
Facial scrubs = 1
Foot lotions = 1
Hand lotions = 2 (one with fragrance and one unfragranced)
shampoo/hair conditioner = only 1 bottle of each
That means that i've gone from 30 pieces to only 9 pieces in just 3 months! :)
Lessons & tips: From now on I'm going to try not to buy new products until I've finished what I already have :)

Two more out the door!
3 weeks ago
Two more empty bottles out to recycling. Slowly but surely this is getting done. And as a side benefit, my skin is moisturized for the first time in years. _

Making good progress on this one, finished two off this week and am almost through a third.

Going pretty well!

Slowly, I’m using up all of my bath products, and more to the point, I’ve stopped buying new ones, unless I completely run out of something. I feel like this is good both for decluttering and my budget!

Being in a place that has the shower right next to the sink is making this goal easy. I am almost 2/3 of the way through one of my older ones. I think I’ll be able to finish this one within a few months, now.

Progress continues!

I actually had to buy shampoo because I totally ran out. Yay! This is such a minor goal, but it gives me a lot of satisfaction to actually go through all the stuff and use it up and move it out. It’s part of a greater de-cluttering effort.

Progress
5 months ago
Making progress. I packed some of my sample jars for traveling two weeks ago, so I got to get rid of a few more things. I’ve almost gone through all of the shampoos and conditioners. Unfortunately, I still have a rather large number of moisturizers. I keep forgetting to use them…

I saw this on someone else’s list and realized that hey, this is something I’m working on too! So it should be on my list. Made a fair amount of progress, actually, but there’s so much to go! Years of accumulating stuff (and for some reason people seem to think this stuff makes awesome presents, which they probably would if I didn’t already have so much) have really… made quite a large pile. But I’ve had the rule since Feb. that I don’t buy anything unless it’s a category that I am completely out of. I.e. if I go through all of my shampoo I can get more shampoo even if I have 3 jars of body lotion left.
It's time for stocktaking
7 months ago
After going through the lotions and stuff I own, I have to admit that I should have started this goal a long time ago!
Here are the stocktaking results:
Bodylotions = 8 bottles (some of them small, but still…)
Body scrubs = 2
Facial scrubs = 2
Foot lotions = 4
Hand lotions = 3
and last but not least:
shampoos or hair conditioners = 11 bottles
(to my defense some are travel size)
GRAND TOTAL: 30 pieces !!!!!
I better start showering and lotioning like there is no tomorrow :)
