Expired cosmetics can cause allergies and infections. In this respect “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” said Valeria Shapovalova, dermatovenerologist, cosmetologist, trichologist.
Cosmetics can cause an allergic reaction after the expiration date: red rashes, swelling, blemishes, itching, and tearing may occur if the application area is close to the eyelids. Often, when a person scratches the skin, an infection (bacterial and fungal) can occur.
The doctor added that if the product expired a week or two ago, it is not dangerous if stored correctly, all products are in stock for at least 6 months.
When checking expiration dates, it is important to ensure that the labels are legible, not erased, and no labels attached. These signs may indicate that the expiration date has been changed.
Additionally, you should never put your finger into the cream jar to prevent bacteria from multiplying in the product. It is better to buy creams with dispensers or use clean spatulas to remove the product from the jar.
