What can I do if my eye cream is expired? How long can I use my eye cream after it expires?

Before using any skin care products, you need to check the shelf life and production date of the skin care products. Any skin care products have a shelf life. Expired skin care products cannot be used, and eye cream must not be used after it expires.

Eye cream can be used as a conditioner after it expires. Although most eye cream packages contain very little, the nutritional value of eye cream is very high, and it is completely sufficient to use it as a conditioner. Expired eye cream may cause eye discomfort, but the ingredients in the eye cream still have a nourishing effect on the hair. After using it on the hair, it can make the hair black and shiny. I believe everyone knows the nourishing effect of eye cream on the eyes. Most eye creams will add some antioxidants and anti-wrinkle ingredients. Once these ingredients deteriorate, continuing to use them on the skin will increase the burden on the skin. Therefore, some other functions of eye cream can be developed to avoid waste after it expires. Of course, most people's eye creams can be used up within the specified period and will not cause waste, but if the eye cream is not used up within the shelf life, it can be used to apply to the hair. Moreover, eye cream can also be used as hand cream. The ingredients added in eye cream are very rich. Using it to care for hands will make hands moist and tender in a short time. Generally, it will not cause discomfort when used as facial skin care products, body lotion or hands. However, if allergic symptoms such as itching do occur, you should stop using it immediately. Eye cream can also be used as a leather care product, but compared with such a wasteful waste utilization method, applying it on the body as a body lotion or hand cream is less psychologically burdensome.

Don't use eye cream if it's expired. The shelf life of eye cream is usually two or three years, and the longer one is five years. However, this is when the eye cream is unopened. If you want the eye cream to have a good effect, it is best to use it within six months after opening. As for expired eye cream, don't use it, it's not good for your skin.

The two have different effects and conditions. Eye masks and eye creams are both products that provide intensive care for the eyes, but the two are completely different in terms of efficacy. Eye masks are first aid products that can provide a lot of moisture to the skin to reduce eye circles and swelling. After use, the skin can be hydrated at a high speed. Eye creams are products that can be used with massage to make the skin around the eyes better. Eye masks need to be removed and thrown away after use, while eye creams do not need to be washed. Eye masks and eye creams are both good products for eye care, but eye masks cannot be used every day. It is recommended to use them 1 to 2 times a week as the best frequency. After using eye masks, the skin around the eyes will be very soothing, which can relieve the dark circles under the eyes and make the area around the eyes moisturized and bright. If eye masks are used for a long time, it will add a burden to the eyes and may even breed fat particles. Eye creams do not have much trouble, because most eye creams are moisturizing, and many antioxidant and moisturizing ingredients are added to them. These ingredients will not burden the eyes as long as they are used in moderation, and eye creams can be used to moisturize the eyes every morning and evening, so its frequency of use is much higher than that of eye masks. When choosing eye cream, you should also choose the appropriate type according to the condition of your skin. For example, some eye creams contain retinol, which should be avoided on sensitive skin. However, for healthy skin, retinol can make the skin around the eyes more moisturized and can greatly reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

1. Gel/lotion eye cream

Take an appropriate amount of eye cream on the ring finger, tap it lightly under the eyes, then gently apply the eye cream in circles from the end of the eye to the beginning of the eye. Depending on the absorption of the eye cream, massage in circles 20-30 times. Finally, gently massage from the beginning to the end of the eye. Repeat this step until the eye cream is completely absorbed.

2. Creamy eye cream

Take an appropriate amount on the ring finger, emulsify the eye cream with the temperature of the finger, then use both fingertips to rub the eye cream evenly, and lightly apply it under the eyes for massage. Repeat 3-5 times, then massage in circles from the end of the eye to the beginning of the eye until absorbed.
