Just 5 minutes: Declutter your cosmetics

Yes, cosmetics do have expiration dates! Expired cosmetics may cause bacteria growth which can results to skin irritation and infections. Read about Period After Opening or PAO on our blog post: Do cosmetics expire? And if you have a lot of cosmetic clutter right now, it is time for you to declutter.

Please give it a try.

1 Gather

Get all your cosmetics out and sort them into categories: lipsticks, brushes, eyeshadows, etc. Or if you have a lot of cosmetics, you may start with one category so you are not overwhelmed.

2 Discard:

+ trash immediately.
+ expired items.
+ what you will not use again.
+ what you will not use in the next 6 months.
+ what you haven’t use in a year or more.

Tips:

+ For lightly used and not expired items you may donate them to women shelters or your friends.

+ If you are not able to get all the product out of the bottle, discard the whole product into the trash.

+ Never flush cosmetics down the toilet or sink, as they can harm the environment.

3 Organize

Place the items you use back into your bathroom vanity or drawer.

Tips:

+ Use drawer organizers or bins to separate items. And measure your drawer before purchasing.

+ If your cosmetics are kept on your bathroom counter, consider using an organizer for storage.
