Does eye cream have a shelf life? How long is the shelf life of eye cream?

Eye cream is a very important skin care product. We must remember to apply eye cream when we take care of our skin. However, as a skin care product, eye cream also has a shelf life. The effect will deteriorate after the shelf life. So does eye cream have a shelf life? How long is the shelf life of eye cream?

Basically, the shelf life of skin care products and cosmetics is three years. Of course, there are also some cosmetics and skin care products with a shelf life of five or two years. But what everyone does not know is that the time indicated above refers to the expiration date of the eye cream. If you really want the eye cream to have a very good effect, you still need to pay more attention to the validity period of these eye creams and how to store them in daily life. There will be a very small icon near the product barcode, with a small bottle with an open lid drawn on it, and some related digital symbols will be written next to the small bottle, such as if it says 6M and 12M. It means that the merchants mean that if this bottle of eye cream is opened, it is best to use it up within six months or twelve months. Of course, if the nutrients contained in the bottle of eye cream you bought are sensitive and the capacity is very small, such as only 15 ml, etc., it is recommended that you use up the eye cream as soon as possible, because this type of eye cream is not suitable for long-term contact with air. Once it is in contact for a long time, it will oxidize.

The shelf life of an ordinary eye cream is about three years when it is not opened. After opening and using, the shelf life will be shortened to a few months. It is related to the correct storage and use methods. If it is not stored properly, it is easy to deteriorate in a short time. The one-time amount of eye cream should also be understood clearly, such as the size of mung beans or soybeans. The usage of different eye cream products is different. Everyone's eyes are different in size, and the area of ​​the eyelids is also different, so the amount can be adjusted according to your own situation. Eye cream must be applied to the upper eyelid, the lower eye bag, and the end of the eye, so as to achieve a better hydration effect. If you want to better preserve the eye cream, you can put the eye cream in the refrigerator, because the cold air in the refrigerator can achieve a good effect of improving the effect of the eye cream, and the effect can make the eye cream more refreshing, so when the weather is hot, you can put the eye cream in the refrigerator. When applying the eye cream, because the eye cream becomes colder, it can achieve the effect of eliminating swelling.

When the eye cream is expired, it cannot be used anymore, because our eye skin is at the most vulnerable stage of the face and cannot be subjected to any stimulation. The ingredients in expired eye cream will change, which will not only have no skin care effect but may eventually damage our skin. When we use expired eye cream for a long time, there will be adverse consequences, so if we find that it has expired, we must stop using it to avoid more serious consequences. The shelf life of unopened eye cream is about 2 to 3 years. After opening, the eye cream will be exposed to the air, so the shelf life will be greatly shortened. It is best to use it up within half a year. After use, the ingredients in the eye cream will gradually change. We can use expired eye cream as hand cream or body lotion. It will not affect the skin of our hands, because the moisturizing molecules in the eye cream that expires in a short time will not change, and it still has a certain moisturizing effect. Although it cannot be used around the eyes, it can still be used on the hands.

If the eye cream expires in a short period of time, it can also be used on rough parts of the body, such as hands, feet, knees, etc. Because the moisturizing ingredients in the eye cream will not deteriorate in a short period of time, it can be used on the body. If allergic symptoms occur, stop using it immediately. 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 a hand cream to moisturize the hand skin. Eye cream contains rich oils and nutrients, so when the leather bag is dull, you can apply expired eye cream to quickly restore the luster of the leather bag.
