Setting up a makeup set is expensive. Therefore, it is not surprising that we seek to extend its useful life as much as possible. The problem is that the cost of using expired products can be high.
Do you check the expiration date of your cosmetic products? because I do not, besides the dust I finish it long before it expires.
All beauty products have an expiration date, ideally check it and get rid of them once a year. When the makeup is over the smell is different and even change their color, the base, lipsticks and even the bases change their color. The useful life of each makeup has its beginning the day you open it to start using it.
Using expired makeup can bring serious consequences to your face can get to suffer certain infections, have erucpciones as acne or your skin is discolored in different sectors. At the same time, skin can become excessively dry and produce eczema or allergic reactions. In addition, your eyes can suffer from dangerous infections that can inflame them and even damage them permanently. It happens to me that the eyeliner I used looked like itchy in my eyes and they made me very red, I think I was allergic to that product or it was defeated, I changed it and it does not happen to me, but I'm always very aware of it.
The lash mask lasts approximately 3 months, to keep it convenient to keep it closed and at a warm temperature, if it hardens and is still missing by its expiration date then we must submerge the container for two minutes in hot water (without boiling).
On the other hand the bases have a life of almost 2 years because the oil they contain keeps them. To extend your life you must avoid touching the bottle. Place the product in the palm of your hand and use fingers, sponges or brushes to apply it
The compact powder expires around 24 months (I literally finish it before the month) They are the ones that last longer, as they do not have water they can be used for several years to keep them in a moisture-free environment.
The pencil eyeliner, 1 year. For your life to be done you can add two drops of oil and that's it.
Check also the time of use that has your lipstick, because after 12 months may already be harmful to the health of your skin.
REMEMBER: Beauty products should be kept in a cool place and brushes washed every month.

I've never even thought about the expiration date on my make up or face products previously. Those times when I have had mild irritations to make up products I'm normally fine with, may be due to this problem.
I'll definitely be more mindful in the future! Great post - thanks for sharing.
