Understanding the Shelf Life Of Beauty Products
I am definitely guilty of stocking up when it comes to skincare products. I have a walk-in closet with shelves dedicated solely to my beauty purchases and that doesn’t even include makeup! With that said, I am very cognizant of when I purchased every product and when I should consume them. This is especially the case once I open a product. Shelf life drastically changes as soon as the seal is broken and that is when the real clock starts ticking. Here is a cheat sheet that you can use to help you understand the shelf life of beauty products so you can responsibly stock-up the next time a great…

The order must be a certain size or you can’t use the promo code on sale products or certain brands/products are exempt.…
L’Oréal Beauty Outlet Review
About the L’Oréal Beauty Outlet The L’Oréal Beauty Outlet started 20 years ago in Montreal as a physical store with the main objective of giving a second chance to L’Oréal products and avoiding their destruction.
