Even the highest quality and most expensive cosmetics cannot be used for a long time. Any cosmetic product has its own expiration date. Therefore, it is important to regularly go through the contents of your cosmetic bag, throwing away those products that you can no longer use.
Mascara can be stored for no more than 3-6 months. In addition to the fact that after 6 months, the mascara loses its properties, begins to dry, flake and smudge, it can also cause infectious eye diseases. However, if this has already happened, do not panic, use Toba Eye Drops. Toba Eye Drops are considered an aminoglycoside antibiotics type of medication used to treat eye conditions such as conjunctivitis or staphylococci infections. The drops operate by preventing the production of proteins involved with the growth and reproduction of bacteria. This allows the body’s immune system to fight the infection naturally while preventing its spread.
Sunscreens (for example, Daylong Extreme SPF 50+ Lotion) must be applied in the summer, but one sunscreen product can be used for exactly one season. Very often, sunscreens are exposed to direct sunlight and heat up, which is not good for any cosmetic product. Therefore, the best option is to throw away the sunscreen immediately after returning from vacation.
Eau de toilette and perfume should be stored for no more than two years. The fact is that every time you press the atomizer, a small amount of air gets inside the bottle. At the very least, it can change the smell of the perfume. But in addition, due to oxidation, it can cause skin irritation.
Face cream. If it is stored in a jar, then its shelf life is no more than 9 months, because many bacteria can get there, which can be harmful to our skin and cause certain diseases. The cream in the tube can be stored for up to a year. The same advice applies to foundation. If the foundation is in a tube, it should also be used within a year.
The shelf life of nail polish is up to 12 months. After a year, it loses its structure and shine, thickens. If it is a regular nail polish, not a gel polish, you can try adding nail polish remover to it, but in this case you can harm your nails.
Lipstick can be used for no more than two years. After this period, it spoils, and it will not be possible to use it, because the color and texture change, and many microbes and bacteria accumulate in such a lipstick.
Eye shadows and powder can be stored for up to three years. As a result of frequent contact with the skin, these cosmetic products gradually absorb skin fat. And this can cause bacteria to multiply in cosmetics.
Contour pencils do not have expiration dates. But before each use, sharpen them, and wipe the sharpener with alcohol before sharpening. However, any change in the smell or consistency of the pencil means that it is time to say goodbye to it.
Of course, it’s a shame to throw away your favorite cosmetics, but skin health should be more important. In order not to have to throw away a partially used tube, do not buy a lot of cosmetics, and then you will have time to use a certain cosmetic product before its expiration date.
