TIPS TO STORING YOUR BEAUTY PRODUCTS
with ERH Skincare

 

Consumers would try to purchase as many essentials products as they could during Big Sales or Grand Offers. The only main concern would be, the expiration date of these products. Here, we would like to offer some tips to storing your skincare products!

 

The Dos & Don’ts of Making Your Products Last

Here are some easy tips for prolonging the shelf life of your products, while keeping your skin and body as healthy as possible.

DO:

Store products in a cabinet or drawer (away from direct sunlight)

Wash your hands before using products

Tighten/secure the cap after each use

Consider how climate and humidity will shorten a product's shelf life

Write the date of purchase in permanent ink (use a Sharpie) on the bottom or back of the package (this can be even more helpful than relying on the PAO date)

Toss out eye products after you've had an eye infection

Abide by the expiration dates on sunscreens, acne products, and prescription medications such as topical antibiotics and Renova or Retin-A

 

 

DON'T:

DON'T buy products packaged in jars of any kind. Jar packaging carries a 100% risk of bacterial contamination due to the fact of you sticking fingers or other objects into them.

DON’T store OPENED & currently IN-USE products in the refrigerator. Skincare formulas are designed to withstand the average fluctuations in temperature; constant change in the temperature may reduce their lifespan and stability.

However, for storing UNOPENED products and Natural Beauty Products, please refer to Part II

DON'T store products in direct sunlight (for example, don’t keep them on a sunny windowsill)

DON'T share your products with others

DON'T add water or saliva to thin out or remoisten products

DON'T "pump" your mascara

DON’T forget to clean the cap or lid if you drop it on the floor. Use soap and water or rubbing alcohol and dry thoroughly before replacing.
