Neosporin

When I first moved out of my parents' house to my first apartment, I did the necessary shopping for "needed items." You know, things mom always has that you take for granted like medicine, tissues, extra toothpaste, etc. Included in that list for me was Neosporin.

Neosporin has always been a staple in our medicine cabinet. Burns, scraped knees, minor cuts-dab a little of Neosporin on and your protecting against infection and keeping scarring at a minimum. But have you ever stopped to look at the expiration date on your tube of Neosporin? 40% of homes have expired topical antibiotics sitting in their medicine cabinet. I just checked-I'm one of them.

Let's face it…you use very little each time you apply things like Neosporin. You would have to have a very clumsy family to use up an entire package! Neosporin wants to get the word out for you to check your medicine cabinet. Pitch the expired products and run out and buy some new ones before Spring is in full swing. My new favorite is the Neosporin To Go!-it's specially designed for easy, one-handed use, resists crushing and goes anywhere with you. It's already packed in my handbag for trips to the park and the inevitable scraped knee.

Thanks to MomCentral and Johnson's for asking me to talk about this great product! TKDDaughter gives this a
