I have to admit that i haven't actually known this fact for even a day but when I was told by my mum, I thought that I ought to do my research and share it with t'interweb. If you look closely at the little symbols on the packaging of most cosmetics(generally found under the directions of use and ingredients), you will notice an image of a container...
Here is the St.tropez gradual tan daily moisturiser in light medium
Here I have a sleek blush
These are PAO (period after opening) symbols which tell you an estimation of how long you should keep the product before throwing it out. Although it seems unlikely, makeup can actually go out of date and can raise the risk of infections, especially in the eye area. If you choose to ignore this (I completely understand as makeup can be pretty expensive), please promise me that you will replace any eye products after their PAO recommendation is up as they hold the biggest risk.
Natural and organic products containing fewer or no preservatives have shorter lifespans therefore potentially harbour higher levels of bacteria. These products somehow tend to appeal more to people but, knowing this, I will surely steer clear.
To many beauty lovers, this will come as really bad news and I know that alot of girls want to build up their makeup collection so this is an awkward one but now that you know, you can decide what you want to do.
I hope this was useful to you,
