I have recently been asked about the shelf life of make-up. So I gathered some information to help you in decided if it is time to get a refill of your favorite liners, lipsticks, and facial cleansers. Below are product expiration guidelines. Be sure to discard expired products because they can promote rashes and blemishes.
