Using up half used face creams/masks, body lotions and perfumes.

Filed under: Ask Claire Questions & Answers — Tags: — admin @ 8:56 am

Hi Claire,
I am decorating my bathroom at the moment. In the bathroom cabinet I have found a good collection of half used face creams/masks, body lotions and perfumes. Are these products still ok to use? I don’t know how long I have had them for.

Hi Pam,

Beauty products do have a shelf life on them. If they are unopened, then as long as they aren’t, for example 10 years old, you should be ok. If the product has been opened I would look at the condition of the product. See if it has changed colour slightly or has a funny smell to it. Depending on the product, once it is opened it should be used within 10-12 months. If it is make-up such as mascara then that should be replaced after 3 months.”
