Theres a lot of talk here and there about how long you should keep your makeup items. Heres a rough guide to how long items last. Please note, products without preservatives need to be binned more quickly than products with preservatives.
For natural preservative Free makeup
Naturally the best?
You may need to be extra scrupulous about hygiene with so-called 'natural' or 'green' cosmetics. These tend to contain fewer preservatives and have earlier use-by dates that do, in fact, need to be stated by law on the label. If you continue to use this kind of product after the expiry date it's more susceptible to bacteria overgrowth, which can cause skin irritation. The ingredients in products with fewer preservatives break down more rapidly than other types of cosmetics, creating the perfect environment for bacteria to breed.
Of course this generally applies to makeup that has been opened.
If you use these types of products, always wash your hands before, and make sure all the tools you use are clean too.
I will make a post later on how i clean my makeup tools.
