Beauty products are like food. They have a limited shelf life, and there isn’t that much we can do about it. In today’s video we share signs and timelines for expired skin care products.
Always use your best judgement when it comes to tossing out expired skincare products. There are few tell tale signs that the product may be expired:
- A bad or rotten smell
- The product has separated
- The texture has changed
- The color has changed
- There are mold spots present
