Spring is upon us! The weather is becoming nicer, the sun is out more, the birds and butterflies are gracing us with their presence. Spring marks the start of new beginnings, so why not spring clean your beauty routine and try a new product? 

Beauty Products Do Expire

Beauty products such as makeup, face wash, face masks, face serums, and lotions do expire. Like supplements, expired skincare products may not be as effective at cleaning and treating your face. Expired makeup could cause skin irritation due to a buildup of bacteria within the product. On the bottom or back of a beauty product, there may be an expiration date printed. If not, there should be a symbol of an open jar with a number on it that indicates how many months a product lasts after it’s opened.
