Everyone knows that there are a lot of discounts in duty-free shops recently.
Events come one after another, and I can’t help but buy them.
I have too many goods at home, but I only have one face. It is normal for cosmetics to expire.
Shelf life science
The shelf life of general skin care cosmetics is 3-5 years.
The shelf life of skin care products recognized in my country is 3 years, and that of cosmetics and perfumes is 5 years. The unified overseas recognition period is 5 years.
For newly purchased cosmetics, you can search "cosmetics shelf life" in the mini program and then check the shelf life through the batch number on the bottle.
But the above are all unopened shelf life. Once some cosmetics are opened, the shelf life will be recalculated. Quickly pick up the skin care products at hand and see if they have the following logo:
The picture above represents the shelf life after opening

If you are worried about the solution, the editor will share some tips to solve the problem of expired products. Don't ask why you don't just throw it away, because of poverty.

Expired lipstick
Lipstick and other products that come into contact with the mouth have expired. The editor still recommends not to use them anymore. There are tens of thousands of bacteria on them.
Solution:
Lipstick can be used to rub oxidized silver jewelry to make it brighter.But forget it if there are hollow or more complex jewelry, the lipstick will get stuck in it??

Principle: Lipstick contains emulsifier, which can absorb silver sulfide on silverware after encountering silver. ingredients and other small pollutants, silver sulfide will cause silverware to turn black. After the lipstick absorbs it, the silverware will naturally become much brighter. At the same time, some lipsticks also contain titanium oxide particles, which can remove silver. Dirt on the surface of the device.
Finally, there is a great trick to avoid the expiration of cosmetics,
That is - no! want! store! goods!
Sometimes, for a discount of 20 or 30 yuan, I buy it and let it expire, resulting in a loss of hundreds of yuan. Isn’t it worth the loss? !
It is also easy to cause waste of resources and is not environmentally friendly. It is recommended that everyone buy as needed~
