Do face products go bad????????? Example...

Question

St.Ives apricot scrub...can it go bad??????? How long does it last???? if it has the lid on????? and isn't dried out is it good????? I mean i know its cheap and all...but i have a full container of it...and it still smells really good and its not dried out...is it possible for it to go bad??? its pretty old...probably like 2-3 years...3 years tops...LOL I have like tons of face products and it makes it so hard to use them all up....I end up throwing away a lot of money cos i just cant use them all...but i hate wasting it.

Answer 1

Skincare has a general shelf-life of 1 year. Even if it still smells good , its ingredients are usually ineffective after 12 months. Plus , bacteria thrive in moist environments.Throw it away .
