How to judge whether the eye cream has gone bad? How to solve the problem of dry eye cream

Eye cream is used on the skin around the eyes, so the quality of the cream is very important. The skin around the eyes is relatively thin and easily irritated. When using eye cream, you must pay attention to the production date and shelf life of the cream.

1. Shelf life and production date. Checking the shelf life and production date is the most convenient and accurate method. The shelf life and production date are usually found on the product packaging, product label, product bottle cap or the bottom of the product. Regular products will have instructions.

2. Since cosmetics are often exposed to the outside world, they are more susceptible to infection by external bacteria. They may go bad within the shelf life, so check the texture of the eye cream. Compared with the previous one, the new eye cream is generally thicker, and the expired product will appear layered and thin.

3. Check whether there is precipitation and aggregation. Eye cream within the shelf life has no precipitation or very little precipitation. In special cases (such as allowing a small amount of precipitation), the cosmetics will be clearly marked.

4. Smell the smell. Products within the shelf life generally have a very fresh smell. Expired eye creams may change in smell or even have an unpleasant odor due to bacterial contamination and bacterial decomposition.

5. In addition, if the eye cream has been used and if you find that the skin where it was applied has any abnormalities such as itching, redness, swelling, or other discomforts, the eye cream may be expired and deteriorated.

Throw it away directly or add a little lotion to dilute it. If the eye cream becomes dry due to long storage time, it is not recommended to continue using it. Just throw away the dried eye cream. If the eye cream has not been stored for a long time and has become dry and solidified due to temperature and other reasons, you can add a little lotion to the eye cream to dilute it. Eye cream is a skin care product used on the eyes. It has the effect of moisturizing and tightening the skin around the eyes. In addition to relieving the problems of dark circles and eye bags, general eye creams also have the effect of improving eye wrinkles and fine lines. Some functional eye creams can also effectively alleviate the problems of dark circles, eye bags, crow's feet, fat particles, etc. caused by computer radiation, ultraviolet radiation, bad living habits, etc., so that the skin around the eyes can be restored to a firm, delicate and elastic state. Generally, the shelf life of unopened eye creams is about three years. After opening the eye cream, the shelf life will be greatly shortened, usually only a few months. In addition to the long storage time, the reason for the drying of eye cream may also be the wrong storage method. If the eye cream dries up due to long storage time, do not use it any more and just throw it away. Because the ingredients in the eye cream may have deteriorated and grown bacteria due to long storage time, it is not suitable for use on the delicate eye area. In addition, the dried eye cream will affect the user experience, so it is best to throw it away directly. If the storage period is not long, but the eye cream dries up due to improper storage method, you can use lotion to dilute it to restore the eye cream to its original moist state. The correct way to store eye cream is to tighten the packaging cap of the eye cream after use and then store it in a dry and ventilated place.

What to do if the eye cream dries up

If the eye cream has dried up after being stored for a long time, it is recommended not to use it again. Leaving cosmetics for a long time is not good for the skin, especially for the eyes. If it has not been stored for a long time and has dried and solidified, you can try to dilute it with some lotion or toner.
