How long does a lipstick last before it expires?

The shelf life of lipstick is generally about three years. When purchasing, you must pay attention to the shelf life on the product. After opening, you must pay attention to the preservation method.

The shelf life of lipsticks is generally printed on the packaging or the bottom of the lipstick. If the lipstick is not opened, the shelf life is basically three years. If it is opened, the shelf life is about two years. Different lipsticks add different ingredients. Ask customer service carefully. The letters in front of the shelf life of lipsticks have different meanings. They basically refer to the production month and year. For example, J refers to 2012, and the latter A refers to January. Please check carefully before purchasing. Although the shelf life of lipstick is three years, it is best to use it up within two years, so it is safer. Don't use expired lipstick. Expired lipstick can be used as a paintbrush or a rust remover on metal objects.

Although the shelf life of many lipsticks is three years, if you do not pay attention to preservation after opening, it will be preserved for up to one year, especially in hot summer.

Method 1: Try to keep the lipstick in a low temperature and dry place, avoid direct sunlight, and remember not to put it in a closed place such as a pocket, so that the lipstick cannot breathe.

Method 2: If you want to replace the new lipstick, you can put the old lipstick in the box, close the lid, and store it in the refrigerator, but not for too long.

Method 3: Before each use of lipstick, be sure to keep your lips clean, wipe off the lipstick before eating, and don't forget to remove the lipstick before going to bed.
