Because ingredient combinations break down at different rates over time, expiration dates vary from product to product. In general, though, here are a few rules of thumb:
- Sealed containers should remain fresh for three years after the manufacture date.
- Skin care products in opened containers should be effective for up to two years. After two years? It’s best to toss them and re-stock!
- Preserve the life of your product by storing it in a cool place (about 10 degrees lower than normal room temperature).
- Expired body care products won’t damage skin, but they will be less effective over time. Aged ingredients won’t nourish and hydrate your skin as thoroughly as fresh ones.
