How long is the shelf life of La Mer cream? How to store La Mer cream?

La Mer's essence cream is its flagship product and is considered to be a top-level cream product. Its facial cream is a legend in the facial cream world and a favorite of many celebrities. So, how long is the shelf life of La Mer cream?

What is the shelf life of La Mer facial cream?

The shelf life of La Mer cream is three years when it is unopened. But the theoretical shelf life after opening is one year. In real life, it is recommended to use up the product within 3-4 months after opening. Because the opened cream is affected by bacteria and microorganisms in the air, the oxidation rate of the cream will be accelerated, causing the effective ingredients of the cream to lose their effectiveness.

How to store La Mer cream

1. In addition to paying attention to the shelf life, you should also pay attention to the usual storage environment. Facial cream also needs to be preserved. In summer, because the temperature is relatively high, it is easy for facial cream to deteriorate. Therefore, facial cream should be stored in an environment below 30° and avoid direct sunlight. At the same time, if the temperature is too low, the facial cream will easily crack, and after thawing it will become coarser and harder, which will irritate our skin.

2. Some facial creams contain certain chemical substances and proteins. After being exposed to sunlight, they will react chemically with ultraviolet rays, which will reduce the effectiveness of the product. At the same time, it is easy to get moldy when exposed to moisture, so the face cream should not be placed in direct sunlight or strong light. The face cream should be placed in a cool and ventilated place as much as possible.

3. In addition, although most facial creams contain preservatives, we can use our fingers to directly apply the cream, but it is best to wash your hands before using the cream, so as not to contaminate the cream. This is also a good way to extend the shelf life of the cream.

How to tell if your face cream is expired

1. If you want to know whether your face cream is expired, you can first look at the oil floating. The problem of oil floating is a sign of oxidation, which should be avoided.

2. Be careful when discoloration occurs. The color change of facial cream is mainly caused by the production of bacteria, and usually it will turn yellow or black.

3. If green, yellow or other mold spots appear on the surface of the cream, this is caused by mold contaminating the cream due to moisture, which also means that it is expired.
