Make-up Manifesto: have your cosmetics reached their expiry date?

Let’s face it, we all have a pile of make-up stashed away that we never use but always think it may come in handy one day.

Buried away for months or even years, it has most likely past its peak.

Similar to food, cosmetics have an expiry date. Once opened, they must be used in a certain period of time to gain the full benefits. Use them too long after opening and your products can start to have a detrimental effect. When using products past their expiry date it can result in minor skin issues, break outs and infections. Unfortunately, most products don’t provide you with the best before date and it’s a hassle trying to figure it out.
