How long do you keep body care products? Here is a list of suggested expiration dates that will help you determine what to keep and what to throw away.
Anti-aging and acne treatments: Three months to a year is the suggested life for cosmetics that contain antioxidants because antioxidants are easily oxidized. Be on the lookout for changes in color which would indicate it is time to get rid of them.
Body lotion: The suggested shelf life is two to three years, particularly if it is in a pump container. One way to tell is to check the scent and also see if there is a color change.
Shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel: These products have a shelf life of about three years provided they are kept out of extreme heat or cold.
Bath oil: After one year check to see if the quality of the product seems normal.
Sunscreen: The package will have an expiration date to determine its effectiveness.
Hairstyling products: These products have a relatively long shelf life of three to five years because they are alcohol-based which helps protect the formula.
Bar soap: The shelf life of bar soap is up to three years.
Shaving cream: Plan about two years for the shelf life of shaving cream.
Deodorant: Two years is about the maximum time you want to use deodorant.
