I was in serious spring cleaning mode last night; sorting clothes, vacuuming, dusting and finally tossing those stacks of fashion mags that, no matter how overpriced, I really just wont read again. And, in the spirit of my feng shui attack, I got to thinking: What about
makeup? When should we clean
beauty house and toss old (although, yes, loved) foundations and mascaras? According to Peter Pugliese, M.D., a skin physiologist quoted in
Fitness Magazine, here are the guidelines for retiring those pretty products ...
- Eye and lip pencils: 3-4 years.
- Foundation: 1 year.
- Cleansers, moisturizers: 6 months. (Most contain fatty acids, which spoil quickly.)
- Mascara: 3 months.
- Powders, concealers, glosses: 1-2 years.
- Multi-use products (ex: 3-in-1 sticks): 6 months. (Germs love these, since they touch multiple skin areas.)
