Around the House - Organising The Bathroom

Organising The Bathroom - Completely empty your medicine cabinet and check the use by dates on all medication and perscriptions.

Do the same with cosmetics, here are some tips to help you decide if it stays or goes!

  • Never use a mascara for longer than 6 months, not only can it dry out but could cause eye infections.
  • Never 'pump' the mascara wand, it will only dry it out.
  • Don't use your skin cream for longer than 18 months as it can lose its potencey.
  • Try not to put your fingers in your make up, always use an applicator even for foundation, and make sure to wash these applicators once a week in warm soapy water and dry naturally. This will help prevent bacterial spread.
  • Keep lids, tops, stoppers and such screwed on tight when not in use so the air doesnt get to the product, this can affect its shelf life.
