Many women take too little notice of the use-by dates on make-up and other cosmetics.

Old cosmetics can deteriorate with time and become dangerous. On top of that, repeated exposure to baceria from the lips, mouth and eyes raises the risk of infections.

Contrary to what you might think, organic cosmetics can be even riskier. They will probably have fewer preservatives so making them potentially even more dangerous.

Pay attention to the use-by dates on cosmetics. When they are old – be safe and throw them away.

Maybe even use fewer of them altogether. You might look lovier than you think without them (you would to me).
