As a continuous part of health warning and high risk of expired mascara, today, I am going to continue about foundations.
Products with 6-8 months life span once opened are as such: Liquid foundation, cream foundation, concealer, cleanser, moisturiser.
But very often, my liquid foundation last me for more than a year, and I use more than one brand of liquid foundation. You know, sometimes the curiousity and greed are just too overwhelming, can’t help but trying out new stuff on the shelves!
Apparently, I have not experienced the obvious impact of using a expiring old foundation yet. I do not what’s the worst impact that you can get on your face, but I believe, it would be some sort of break outs or skin allergy. I do get break out once in a while, but I don’t blame it on foundation. Luckily I am only using 2 foundation now, which is the Aery Jo Liquid Foundation and The BodyShop Moisture Foundation SPF 15. So, I guess, I will just stick to these 2 until the end upon reading this.
Imagine how your foundation would possibly feel when you abandon the old one for the new one. It must be weeping in the dark drawer.
As for the cleanser and moisturizer, I will suggest you withdrawing the amount you roughly need for a month, and keep the rest in the fridge if you happen to buy a big bottle like my 500ml Gerraud Cleansing Milk, just pour out how much you need in a clean dispenser and keep the rest. Hence the lifespan will be extended. And you keep it fresh just like milk. The same goes to toner, or moisturizer of facial masks.
What’s coming up next would be : Products with a year old life span.
