Do you use old discoloured lipsticks to add colour to you lips? If yes, you may loose the natural shine of your lips! Old and out-of-date make ups can cause infection too.
Discoloured or smelly lipsticks, mascara and eye pencils can accumulate dangerous bacteria on the skin
and lead to a skin problem.
Although all cosmetics
come with a 'best before' date, a study by Debenhams found 89 per cent of women did not know that this information was available on beauty products’ labels.
More than two-thirds of women only change products when they run out of stock, even if it means exceeding the 'best before' date.
“Women don’t like throwing things away beauty products. But next time you use an old beauty product do not forget to check the date.
If its too old be prepared for an infection...

Most women hold onto beauty products and don't let go. If you look in any woman's makeup bag, chances are you will find makeup that should have been thrown out months ago. Sometimes it is held onto because the
product isn't finished yet or simply because it isn't remembered when it was bought in the first place.
The best way to remember when the beauty products were bought is to take a permanent marker and mark the date directly on the packaging of the product.
If you see any signs of irritation whether it is on your skin or your eyes, throw out the beauty product or products that you used over or on that surface. The last thing you want to do is spread the irritation or infection or make it worse. If you've had an infection or irritation, even if it's not caused by the beauty products, do not continue to use the products you used on that area. The products can be contaminated and all you're doing is re-applying it.
If any beauty product looks funny or smells funny, throw it out.
Some simple advice if you are makeup shopping is to never, ever try on the cosmetics that are out for sample use on makeup counters. I've actually seen women put their fingers in the sample and apply it to their skin. Most counters have disposable applicators, but people "double dip" or apply the makeup to their skin, put the applicator back into the sample makeup product and then put it back on their face. Germs were now just transferred to that sample makeup. Unless the makeup counter is giving out individual samples, don't bother.
Holding onto outdated beauty products can be dangerous and could cause infections or irritations. So when should you really throw these products out?
Lipstick should be thrown out after a year. If it smells different or the color starts changing, toss it
This is very apt suggestion. outdated Beauty aids are as harmful as expired medicines. It is better not to use make up rather than using outdated products.
