A member asked:
Is it safe to use cosmetic after expiry date if they still work, smell and look ok? what are the possible harms of using expired cosmetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on what the cosmetic product is that you are referring too. Note: anything used near your eyes (mascara, eye shadow ; eye makeup) should be discarded. Always make sure you use a clean applicator as they can harbor bacteria.
