ELIMINATE EXPIRED PRODUCTS
It's not that hard to know when your skin care products will expire. If there is no expiration date on the box, just look for the little "open bottle" icon that is usually behind or below the product. The number in the symbol indicates the number of months it will remain in good condition from the time the product was opened.
However, many cosmetic products do not have this indication. So how do you know if they have expired or not? If the texture, color, and smell of the item have changed noticeably, discard it immediately as these are all positive signs that it has exceeded its useful life.
Cream and liquid products are usually the first to expire because moisture encourages bacterial growth.
For other products that do not have these marks, this is where you can judge whether it is time to throw them away.
Cream and liquid products are usually the first to expire because moisture encourages bacteria to grow. This means that foundations, lip glosses, lipsticks, blushes, and highlighters in creams or liquid formulations are likely to wear off in six months to a year. Dry powders last two to three years.
Be careful, especially with products that you apply very close to the eyes. Masks must be thrown away three months after opening, while cream or liquid eyeliners can be worn for six months to a year.
Any product with an applicator that is dipped into the container when closed carries a higher risk of bacterial contamination. The same applies to cosmetics that are wet with your fingers. Please review these articles carefully for signs of expiration.
USE ITEMS BEFORE THE EXPIRATION
If you know a product is about to expire but you don't think you can get it finished sooner, you can use it for other purposes. For example, you can safely use your facial moisturizer as a hand cream or body moisturizer, but don't do the opposite as body lotions can damage the skin of the face, which is thinner and more sensitive than the skin. your body.
Haven't you touched your lipstick collection since masks became mandatory? Apply it as a blush cream; It doesn't color your mask like lipstick does on your lips, especially if you set your makeup with a translucent powder and a setting spray.

REVIEW YOUR MAINTENANCE AND MAKEUP NEEDS
It's pretty clear we're not going to be removing the mask anytime soon. It is safe to say that you will continue your pandemic friendly beauty routine indefinitely.
If you're still battling Maskne, it makes sense to reconsider your current beauty regimen. A good place to start would be to strip away the richer, more textured serums and moisturizers (consider softening dry elbows and feet) and replace them with lighter, oil-free products that are suitable for acne-prone skin.

Do smart shopping
Of course, that doesn't mean at all that you can't wear lipstick and foundation. What you need is to find transfer-resistant alternatives. When it comes to buying lip makeup, go for lip and color tones, as well as anti-clog liquid lipsticks. All of these are great options that will stay in your crease.
For a foundation that won't melt easily under the mask, choose foundation coats in a matte or semi-matte formula that provides longer-lasting hold throughout the day.
