When to toss your makeup??

We all know to toss sticky lip gloss and dried out mascara, but how can you tell if your makeup has just expired? 

 

Moisturizer

Face cream can lose its freshness after six months. Make sure to seal correctly to make it last longer and avoid bacteria buildup.

Nail Polish

While technically your favorite bottle lasts only one year, the real test is a simple shake. If color separated even after a quick rattle, toss it.

Lipstick

Give the tube a quick sniff. You will be able to smell if it's gone sour, which usually is after three years. Lipgloss can turn after about a year and will become sticky in texture.

Mascara

Fortunately it's very obvious if your mascara has gone bad. If the dried up liquid becomes dry, clumpy, and hard to apply, just toss it! Plus, old mascara can contain unhealthy bacteria, so ditch the tube when the liquid become pasty-usually after three months.

Perfume

So happy to know that your favorite fragrance will usually last up to eight years after it has been opened. You can keep it smelling fresh even longer by store it in the fridge! Oxidation-the process that changes a scent-happens quicker in warm environments.

Brushes

It's simple to tell when your brushes are ready to be dumped. Just eyeball them. If the bristles are pinched, frayed, or falling out, it's time to invest in a new brush.

Sunscreen

Usually they have expiration dates on tubes, which is typically one to two years. So don't start hoarding in the summer. Just buy as needed.
