You know you’ve done it - I'm talking about using a makeup product that's way past its expiration date. After all, you shelled out major money for that mascara, so why would you want to toss it once the date on the tube has come and gone?
But expiration dates serve a bigger purpose than merely getting you to buy another product. That’s because old makeup not only works less efficiently—it can do major damage to your skin.
All of the molecules in your products can break down into something else, and you can have a reaction to it. If you experience irritation in response to the molecule breakdown, it could lead to inflammation and contact dermatitis. this in turn can lead to redness, bumps, a rash, or even blisters and swelling of the skin.
Your expired makeup can also start to harbor bacteria. When it comes to your skin, this can mean irritation and bumps that look like acne. And when it comes to your eyes, this bacteria buildup can actually cause infections and pink eye. As for lipstick, using an expired one can cause swelling.
Did you know your makeup & skincare have an expiry date? Were you aware using stale products can be damaging to your skin? Would an audit be beneficial to you?
