Want to make the switch to products that help beautify the planet while they beautify you? Here are some tips from butter LONDON on how to celebrate Earth Day by cleaning up your beauty routines.
Check Out Those Expiration Dates!
Got some nail lacquers that remember Ben and Jen’s *first* engagement? Do some Spring cleaning in your nail lacquer collection and cull the colours that are past their expiration dates. Nail lacquer typically keeps for about two years, but it can dry out and be tough to apply if it hasn’t been closed tightly. After you toss your toddler-aged nail lacquers, check your beauty and skin care products for a little open cream jar with a tiny number in the middle—that’s the expiration date. Here are some useful rules of thumb when it comes to products for your eyes, face, and lips:
- Skin Tint and Concealer: 12-18 Months
- Blush: 12 months
- Eyeshadow: 6-12 Months
- Mascara: 3 Months
- Lipstick: 1-2 Years
