How To Renew Old Mascara. To determine how long your products are safe to use check for tiny symbols on the packaging. Mark the date that you opened the tube with a marker.
Makeup doesnt last forever. One at a time open and check each used mascara for dryness caking or funny smells - these are signs that the mascara has expired. Gather all opened mascara products.
It can even cause irritation and infections if used past its expiration.
But if like me you have a mascara which you have used for a couple of months and need to get the last bits out before you can get to the shops then its worth doing. Old makeup can harbor gross bacteria. Practice good hygiene and cleanliness with your mascara and it will last till the tube is empty which usually takes about 4-6 months with daily use. Carefully slide the mascara wand back into the tube.
