Make Up - When To Throw It Away!

We all have old make-up products that we don't use any more. you know the products that sit in the bottom of a drawer of the purse you used last summer. Rediscovering them, for me is so exciting and I'm embarrassed to admit that some times I apply the product immediately Which is not always good since make-up expires, so when does it expire and how do you know how long a product will last once it's open?

The answer is quite simple.

 If your product doesn't have a best used before date like this one: ( 06/12/2016) 

look for this. 

This icon simply means that once the product it opened, it can be used for up to a year, other products with this icon may say 18 M or 24 M which just represent the amount of months the product will stay good for. Of course you can still use the product after the date, but be cautious because after the 12 months or how ever long your product has, the properties in the ingredients start to wear down and break. which ultimately leaves you with a useless and ineffective product.

Then there are some products that don't seem to have any dates or icons on them, maybe they have work off of you just cant see it. so I've found a very helpful picture online to help you out with the longevity of your products. check it out and make sure to leave a comment if you found it helpful!
