There’s something about Spring that makes us want to clear things out, from the garage to the closet. But what about that medicine cabinet? How old are the products you’re currently applying to your skin? Do you know?

The expiration date of skincare products vary depending on the type of product you’re applying. Below are some general guidelines for when to toss the most common skincare products on your shelf:

  • Toners: 6 months to 1 year
  • Cleansers: 1 year
  • BHA or AHA Exfoliants: 1 year
  • Facial/Body Moisturizers & Serums: 6 months to 1 year
  • Lip Balms: 1 year
  • Sample Packets: 1 day

* Remember: If it smells funky or the texture has changed significantly—definitely toss it out!
