- If the cosmetics change color or begin to smell differently, do not think twice - just toss it.
- Cosmetics should be kept in a cool, dark place to extend its shelf. Avoid places such as window sill, where they get affected by sunlight and temperature changes.
- If you do not know when you purchased the product, toss it again. It can cause negative reactions on your skin.
- As far as possible keep the cosmetics in their actual wrapping if you do not use it right away. This way you will be able to extend its shelf as there is no exposure to air.
