What can you do with expired eye cream

There are requirements for the usage time of eye cream. Once the shelf life has passed, it is best not to use it on the eye skin. Many friends buy eye cream and then neglect to use it, which results in the eye cream expired. It’s a pity to throw away such an expensive item, but they don’t know how to use it if they don’t want to. To solve everyone’s confusion, the following article specifically talks about what expired eye cream can be used for. I hope it will be helpful to everyone!

Don’t use expired eye cream.

The skin around the eyes is very fragile and cannot withstand any stimulation. After the eye cream expires, the chemical composition in it will change. If you continue to use it on the skin around the eyes, it will not only fail to repair skin problems, but will also cause eye allergies and lead to more serious consequences. So don’t use eye cream after it expires.

What is the shelf life of eye cream?

Generally speaking, the shelf life of unopened eye cream is about 2 to 3 years. It is best to use up eye cream within 6 months after opening. After the eye cream is opened, the bacteria in the air will react with the eye cream, so the longer the eye cream is stored, the less effective it will be. Therefore, try to use up the eye cream within 6 days after opening. If this is not possible, choose a smaller amount.

What can you use expired eye cream for?

1. Compared with the skin around the eyes, the skin on the hands has a stronger tolerance, so expired eye cream can also be used as hand cream to moisturize the skin on the hands.

2. Wipe leather bags: Eye cream is rich in oils and nutrients. Therefore, when the leather bags are dull, you can apply expired eye cream to quickly restore the luster of the bags.

What are the precautions when using eye cream:

1. Although eye cream is rich in nutrients, you should not use too much. Excessive use will cause the skin around the eyes to be overnourished, resulting in the growth of fat particles.

2. Use eye cream both morning and night, moisturizing during the day and repairing at night, so as to lighten dark circles and prevent fine lines.

3. When applying eye cream, do not just apply it to the tail of the eye where there are fine lines. You should lightly apply the eye cream to the entire skin around the eyes. This will tighten the skin and revitalize the skin around the eyes.
