Your skin care products may be "expired"! These conservation misunderstandings turn high-priced products into waste products in seconds

Don't let the wrong way of preserving it ruin your expensive skincare products

Recently, while tidying up my dresser, I found that a bottle of Lady Cream that had just been opened had gone bad! While distressed, I realized that many people have made similar mistakes in the preservation of skin care products. Let's talk to you today about how to properly preserve skincare products so that every penny you spend is well spent!

? Five misunderstandings about skin care product preservation

Myth 1: Put all skin care products in the refrigerator
Truth: Not all products are suitable for refrigeration. Too low temperatures will instead make some active ingredients ineffective.

Myth 2: The bathroom is the best storage place
Truth: The high temperature and high humidity environment in the bathroom is simply a breeding bed for microorganisms!

Myth 3: Place it on the windowsill in direct sunlight
Truth: Sunlight will accelerate the oxidation of ingredients and make products deteriorate in advance.

Myth 4: Large cans of products are directly dug by hand
Truth: Bacteria on your hands can contaminate the whole can of product and shorten the service life.

Myth 5: Reluctant to throw expired products
Truth: Expired products are not only ineffective, but may also harm skin!

? Guidelines for proper preservation of different products

Essence class:

· Vitamin C, retinol and other active ingredients should be protected from light and refrigerated
· Dropper essence avoids direct contact with the skin
· Best effect when used up within 3 months after opening

Cream category:

· Use a special digging spoon to take it
· Avoid places with large temperature changes
· Stop using the paste immediately if it changes color and taste

Sunscreen category:

· Avoid high temperature environments
· Don't stay in the car exposed to the sun
· The protective power of sunscreen every other year is greatly reduced

Mask category:

Sheet mask is stored flat
· Smear-on mask closes the bottle cap
· Better effect after refrigeration

? The truth about the "shelf life" of skin care products

Shelf life unopened:
Generally 3 years, but there are differences in different categories

Shelf life after opening:
Look at the "opening logo" on the package (6 M, 12 M, etc.)
The more active ingredients, the shorter the useful life

Actual useful life:
Also consider the preservation environment and how to use it
