Old make up and dirty tools can harbour bacteria, leading to infections and hideous breakouts. Here are some rules to live by:
Liquid and cream foundations: 12 – 18 months
Concealer: 12 – 18 months
Face powder: 12 – 18 months
Powder blush or bronzer: 12 – 18 months
Cream blush or bronzer: 12 – 18 months
Mascara: 6 months
Eyeliner: 12 – 18 months
Liquid Eyeliner: 6 months
Eye Shadow: 12 – 18 months
Lipstick: 2 years
Brushes: wash weekly
Sponges: wash weekly; replace monthly
Moisturizers: 2 years
Eye Cream: 6 months
Sunscreen: 2 years
Face Cream: 2 years
Above and beyond these rules, if any of your products smell or look funky...toss ‘em. If you find things that you have not used in a year, it is time to say good – bye and hello to something new.
