What Happens If You Use Expired Cosmetics: Be Careful With Sunscreens
Not all cosmetics can be used before their expiration date, and if the product is expensive, it’s a shame to throw it away.
Some experts believe that after the expiration date of a cosmetic product, its effectiveness is significantly reduced.
Over time, the cream begins to deteriorate and lose its activity – it can also become a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi.
The structure and consistency of an expired product can change significantly, and extreme caution should be exercised.
Why expired cosmetics are dangerous
Inflammation, rashes, acne and contact dermatitis may occur. Creams may become oily and clog pores.
You should not use expired sunscreens with SPF components - pay attention to the description of the composition.
