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.
