How Long Should You Keep Your Makeup?
It is easy when we deal with food. It has expiration dates. Not like what we have in our make up. It doesn’t have the tag that tells us when to toss it out.
We need to know whether our makeup needs to be changed or not because of the bacteria that may be living in it or maybe it needs to be changed because it has lost its effectiveness.
Let’s take a moment and check out how make up should be and which ones to toss out now.
If it smells, throw it out.
Obviously, if your make up is not what it used to be, it is time to throw it out. Chances are the make up has overstayed its use.
Avoid buying in bulks
Those big sizes do not guarantee that they will still be fresh in six months unless you have a big family to share it with.
What to toss within three months
Makeup kits that easily harbor bacteria are the ones you need to toss out in three months. These would include sponges and razors. High –quality sponges will last up only up to three months even if you wash it after every use. The cheap ones should be tossed after one time use. Razors should be thrown out after six usages or if the blades are no longer sharp. Do not keep the razors in your shower.
What to toss after three to six months
These makeups is used near the eyes so you need to take care of them. Throw them out within six months to avoid infection. Eyeliners should be sharpened before you use them. Mascaras on the other hand, dry up after three months. It is recommended that you throw them out at that. It is a breeding ground for bacteria. Photos Copyright of PR PHOTOS
