If you don’t know that makeup is perishable, do start to check your cosmetics on your dressing table and cosmetic bag.
Each type of makeup has a general shelf life, however, there is an easy way to tell.
If your makeup has changed texture, or separated, especially liquid items like foundation, then it’s safe to say that it needs to be throw into the bin.
Powder formulations may begin to cake.
Another way to check is whether your makeup starts to smell different.
Never think that saving money on makeup is important. Your skin condition is more important than your money. If your skin condition get worst because of expired makeup, you will ended up wasting more money on getting your face back to its original condition.
Using makeup that’s beyond its use by date will not only give you poor results, but can also lead to skin irritations and even infections – definitely not the way to get a great look!
Lastly, never share your makeup with others as each individual person have its own type of skin condition. Never reuse makeup sponge as well because each time the sponge is used, after awhile, it will tend to contain bacterial, germs and other unhygienic materials that can cause your skin to suffer.
