Keeping your cosmetics fresh isn’t just about performance—it’s about safety. Over time, makeup can collect bacteria, lose its effectiveness, and even cause skin irritation or infections. Regularly replacing your products helps ensure cleaner application, better results, and healthier skin.
If your mascara is flaking, it’s probably past its prime. If your eyeliners are dry or don’t apply smoothly, think back to when you bought them. Use the parameters below to check the shelf lives of your products once they’ve been opened.
