Spring Cleaning for Your Beauty Products
When we think of spring cleaning, shining countertops, scrubbing floors and tossing old sweaters may come to mind. But there is an equally important task that requires your attention--your beauty, hair & skincare products.
Experts estimate that most opened products lose their effectiveness and potentially become contaminated after six months to a year. While preservatives are an important safety measure to keep your creams and lotions safe and effective, even they begin to falter after a period of time. While acne products and sunscreens have expiration dates, your everyday moisturizer may not. Here are some things to look out for:
- Separation of ingredients, such as oil and water
-
Discoloration—this is especially concerning for products that contain
Vitamin C - An unpleasant odor
