"Most of us are using cosmetic products beyond their expiry date or recommended shelf life, risking skin irritation or other adverse reactions, according to new research."
"The findings from the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) watchdog also highlighted the danger of out-of-date skin sunscreen, which will not provide protection."
Most people use cosmetic products beyond their expiry date or recommended shelf life. Using cosmetic products past their expiry or recommended shelf life increases the risk of skin irritation and other adverse reactions. Expired sunscreen loses effectiveness and will not provide protection. The Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) highlights that out-of-date sunscreen presents a particular danger because it cannot be relied on for sun protection. Consumers should check expiry dates and recommended shelf-life markers, discard expired cosmetics, replace sunscreen regularly, and follow storage guidance to reduce risk and maintain skin safety.
