    I bought a box of body lotion when it went on sale but kinda misplaced it when we moved here .. I just found it yesterday but the expiration date was 2 months ago .. I was like WTF .. not sure whether I should throw it out. I look at the ingredient and nothing appears to have shelf life kinda speak .. it's unscented nor alpha hydroxyl so yeah .. what do ya'll think?
     
  2. Good question, this is what i did.

    After doing the above and reading a little bit i came to find that it does expire, you should throw it out unless you dont mind ruining your skin if things go wrong, but you wont be able to sue though, its expired after all!!!

    ^ lmao let someone try it first ... should i call that evilness??

    your safer option is to just bin it! would u rather spend money seeing the doctor or spend money on a new body lotion? the final decision is yours :p

    Yes, bodylotion expire. If It's normal bodylotion you can use if it doesn't smell sour or weird (even if is unscented, it can smell weird), but the supplier can't garanteed there's nothing wrong with it. And don't use expired sunscreen or if the sunscreen for open more than 3 month. Throw it away because the sunfactor doesn't work anymore. Than you get burned (so DON'T USE sunscreen from last year)

    2 months should be alright. I believe you can use any product even 6 months after the expiry date. 6 - 12 months at most.

    Yes lotion expires. If the lotion is watery, then definitely throw it out.

    it depends. this is how you find out. usually if it does expire, they have an expiration date on the bottle somewhere so keep an eye out for it.

    One thing I don't get is why companies don't put "expiration date" at a more visible place.

    Anyway, I threw them all out already. I don't wanna risk hurting myself by saving a bit of money. It's better to be safe than sorry. Thanks ya'll.

    usually it's 6 to 12 months. but rele after that date it shouldn't rele be harmful just it is less effective from what i know.
