Can cosmetics still be used after they expire?

Cosmetics are a necessity for female friends, among which mascara is the most common. A bottle of mascara can be used for a long time, and sometimes there is still a lot left even after it expires, which people will think is a waste. Seeing so many expired items on the Internet being turned into treasures, can we still use expired cosmetics? The following methods will definitely help you.

Expired mascara

After opening the mascara, it dries up easily. Although you can continue to use it, the effect is greatly reduced and it is easy to come off, leaving a fly-leg effect. However, using expired mascara to apply eyebrows can have a very good effect. It not only colors the eyebrows, but also makes them smooth and straight. This is a good effect that eyebrow powder cannot achieve.

Expired facial mask

After the mask expires, it can easily cause allergies when it comes into contact with the skin, but if you use it to wipe leather bags, leather shoes, or even leather furniture, the effect is surprisingly good.

Expired lotion

After the lotion expires, it cannot be used on the face, but it can be used as a hand cream and on the body joints. If you have dry and cracked heels, you can apply it on your heels after washing your feet every day to moisturize them. Xinjie201 has been doing this and the results are really great.

Expired perfume

After the perfume expires, you can put it in the car and use it as a car perfume; you can spray it in the closet to make your clothes smell good; you can put it in the bathroom to reduce the strange smell inside.

Expired shower gel

Shower gel is usually very fragrant, easily bubbles, and has super cleaning power. Using expired shower gel to clean the toilet is more effective than ordinary toilet cleaners. You can also clean the bathtub, and the whole bathroom will smell pleasant.

Expired facial cream

The texture of the facial cream is very oily. The best way to use expired facial cream is to use it on leather shoes. It has super moisturizing power and can make the leather shoes bright and shiny as new. Xinjie201 has personally tried this method.

With the above methods, you no longer have to worry about expired cosmetics being unable to be used. In fact, the shelf life of many cosmetics is three years, so you don’t have to worry about them expiring. Just use them up within the shelf life. In addition, cosmetics can cause some damage to the skin, so try not to use things with too many chemical ingredients.
