How long is the shelf life of Elixir sunscreen? Elixir sunscreen was very popular last year, so many fairies have stocked up on it.

How long is the shelf life of Elixir sunscreen?

The shelf life of unopened Elixir sunscreen is three years, but it is best to use up the opened Elixir sunscreen in the same year, because the opened Elixir sunscreen will come into contact with the air, which will accelerate the oxidation of the ingredients in the Elixir sunscreen and make the ingredients in the Elixir sunscreen ineffective. Therefore, if the opened Elixir sunscreen is kept for use in the second year, the sun protection effect will be greatly reduced and the sun protection effect will not be very good.

How to check the shelf life of Elixir sunscreen

The shelf life of Elixir sunscreen is generally indicated directly on the outer packaging box. For example, if it says "please use before July 2021", the shelf life of the Elixir sunscreen is until July 2021. However, ladies should note that the shelf life marked on the outer packaging generally refers to the shelf life of the unopened Elixir sunscreen. After opening, it is best to use up the Elixir sunscreen within the same year.

Can I use Elixir sunscreen after it expires?

After the expiration date, Elixir sunscreen cannot be used on the face. Because the ingredients of expired Elixir sunscreen have deteriorated and changed, it will not achieve the initial sun protection effect when used on the face. It may even cause allergic reactions such as redness and itching on the facial skin, and even severe cases may cause skin breakage and ulceration. Therefore, it is not recommended to use expired Elixir sunscreen on the face.
