Neutrogena lip balm shelf life

The shelf life of unopened Neutrogena lipstick is three years, but after opening, it is recommended to use up Neutrogena lipstick within one year. Because after opening the Neutrogena lipstick, the more times it is used, the more times it comes into contact with the air, which will cause the effective ingredients in the Neutrogena lipstick to be affected by bacteria and microorganisms in the air, thereby accelerating the loss rate, so the shelf life of the Neutrogena lipstick after opening is shortened.

How to check the shelf life of Neutrogena lipstick

The shelf life of Neutrogena lipstick is generally indicated on the back of the outer packaging, such as MFG20170727, EXP20200726, which means that the production date of this Neutrogena lipstick is July 26, 2017, and the shelf life is July 26, 2020.

Can I still use Neutrogena lip balm after it expires?

It is not recommended to use Neutrogena lipstick on the lips after it expires, because all the effective ingredients of Neutrogena lipstick have lost their effectiveness after the expiration date, and it will not have the same effect as before if used again, and may even make the lip skin feel drier. Moreover, the texture of expired Neutrogena lipstick will change. If used again, it may cause allergic symptoms such as redness, swelling, and fever on the lip skin.

What can I do with Neutrogena lipstick after it expires?

Wipe your heels

You can use expired Neutrogena lipstick to wipe your heels, because girls' heels are always damaged for various reasons, becoming rough and having fine lines. At this time, you can apply Neutrogena lipstick that has expired recently or is about to expire on the skin of your heels. This can reduce the friction of the heel skin and restore the tenderness of the heel skin.

Zipper

After the zipper has been pulled for a long time, it may sometimes become sticky. At this time, you can apply expired Neutrogena lipstick on the sticky zipper, and then pull it again. You will find that the zipper becomes much smoother.
