TikTok Trichologist Offers Tips on Checking Cosmetic Product Expiration Dates

Consumers are often unsure about how long their cosmetic products remain safe and effective. A recent TikTok video by Mandy B. Beauty, a certified trichologist, provides helpful guidance. "Such a great reminder to check expiration dates on your cosmetic products!" she states in the video's description, emphasizing the importance of checking both the expiration date and the period-after-opening symbol. The video uses examples of expired products, including a moisturizer that expired in February 2007, to highlight the risks of using outdated cosmetics. For emulsions like lotions and creams, the author advises paying attention to changes in consistency. She also demonstrates how to revive dried-out powder products or lipsticks using a product containing isododecane. This practical advice makes the video a valuable resource for consumers seeking to maximize the lifespan and effectiveness of their beauty products.
