 Despite the fact that most of us have huge stocks of cosmetics, sponzhikom and brushes, we do not hurry with all their "wealth" part. And for good reason. There are things that are not allowed to keep for so long.
Do not think that we care for your shelf in the bathroom and a dressing table. No, they seem can withstand enormous amount vials and tubes. But survive if our skin is all that has accumulated in the beautician? Let's deal.
Cosmetics and brushes for a make-up can be a source of bacteria that provoke acne, irritation and severe skin problems. We know this, but somehow I sometimes forget. It's a pity to throw away a beautiful shade of khaki, which are so suited to the eyes. "I do not find those! "- Lamenting ... we leave for another half-year box shadows, expired two months ago.
How do I know that the shelf life expired?
If the marking has worn off, it does not mean that you will not notice that the product is spoiled. You remember how the product was when you bought it? Answer simple questions: "Has the smell? "" Does the color change? "" Has the consistency? ". If at least one of these questions you answer yes, then the product's time in the trash, not the person.
The fastest way to a concern foods to which you touch with your fingers, or coming in contact with the skin directly. This tonal means (concealer, foundation), if you apply their hands lipstick. All that has applicators are also at risk. Especially if these applicators are stored along with the product (lip gloss and mascara).
