What happens if you use make up after expiry date?

I'm sure we all don't want to get rid of make up but, expiry dates for make up help prevent damaging our skin and lets you know when your makeup works less efficiently.

The product consistency changes over time and may dry out, become clumpy and not work well. This applies for all makeup products. Whether organic or not.

Also, certain ingredients like spf may wear away over time, making it less effective. Also, ingredients for acne prevention may not be efficient either.

From the changes you skin may react!
》Irritation can lead to Inflammation

》Contact dermatitis can turn to redness, bumps, a rash, swelling & blisters

》Make up can harbour bacteria causing skin to have acne like bumps

This bacteria growth can cause eye infection and even pink eye.

》Swelling can be caused form lipstick
