CREATING BEAUTY,EYES,MAKEUP TIPS Mascara Should Be Changed How Often?!
Ladies, let’s talk about how often you should be changing your mascara 👀.
No matter where you fall on the spectrum of makeup usage, most of us have at least one trusty tube of mascara tucked away in our makeup bag. So answer me this: how long has it been there?
There are many reasons you might hold onto our mascara longer than you should: maybe you wait until Mom gifts you the little bonus pack of samples that comes with her favorite lotion from Macy’s at Christmas time – yikes! Maybe you just continue to scrape by on the last bit because you forget to get more when you’re out running errands. Or maybe that bigger, pricier tube of mascara by your favorite brand still seems to keep doing the trick just fine after a few months. Why should you have to spend more money on a new one?💰
No matter what has been keeping you from routinely changing your mascara, it may be the perfect time to start this new healthy habit.
FDA Recommendations
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends discarding your mascara 3 months after purchase.
Yes, 3 months. You read that right! 😲
Don’t worry, this rule is not for all of your cosmetics. The FDA reasons that the shelf life for eye-area products is shorter than others because of repeated microbial exposure with each use by the consumer and risk of eye infections. In addition, you should toss your eye makeup if you get an infection, and make sure you do not introduce germs by adding saliva or water to your mascara.
