If you have a large collection of cosmetics, you may have wondered about the shelf life of those products.

According to Beauty and Wellness Expert, Dayle Haddon, in an article written by Brian Bernbaum for CBS News:

'Cosmetics aren't required by law to have expiration dates, so you can't just look at the label to know when a product has expired.'

A solution to this problem? When you purchase cosmetics, label the container with the purchase date so you'll know when it's getting old. Here are some general guidelines.

Liquid Foundation: 3-6 months (Cream foundation can last 4-6 months)

Foundation in a bottle should last 3-6 months, but wide mouthed jars can expose the product to more air and should be tossed sooner. You'll know it's time to purchase a new bottle when the ingredients begin to settle or separate, the texture thickens or thins, or the smell changes.

Concealer: 6-8 months

Powders: 1 year

Pressed powder, eye-shadows, blush or mascara: 3 months (Note: You should never keep mascara for any longer than 3 months. Air pushes bacteria back into the tube). Never 'pump' your mascara. Gently twist the wand in a circular motion.

Lip gloss and Lipstick: 1 year

Eye and/or Lip Pencils: 1 year (Note: Eye and lip pencils should last 1 year or more, but you should sharpen pencils at least once a week to prevent bacteria from being transferred to your eye area. You'll know the product has gone bad if it dries or crumbles).

It's better to have a smaller collection of cosmetics that you absolutely love, use often, and replenish when necessary, rather than a huge collection, much of which you only use occasionally and will go bad before you use it up.
