SkinCare Product Expiration

It might be time for new skincare

Do you remember the last time you gave your skincare a good “clean out” ? Well if it’s been more than a few months, chances are that some of your skincare products have gone bad.

While its hard to part with your favorite moisturizer, abiding by expiration dates is very important. Skincare can trap bacteria, which over time may lead to irritation, eye infections and breakouts.

Skincare guide:

  • Moisturizers - 6 months to 1 year

  • Toners - 1 to 2 years

  • Serums - 6 months

  • Sunscreen - 1 year

  • Acne Products - 6 months to 1 year

  • Cleansers - 1 year

Pro tip:

Write the date of opening on your skincare products so you never loose track!
