What is the shelf life of the repair cream? What can I do if it expires?

Repair cream is a skin care product that is used on the face. It can repair the skin and make it healthier. Skin care products have a shelf life, so how long is the shelf life of repair cream? What can I do with expired repair cream?

How long is the shelf life of the repair cream?

The after-sun repair cream has a shelf life of 3 years if it is unopened. Once opened, the shelf life will be shortened and it is best to use it up within 3 to 6 months. Moreover, there are slight differences in the shelf life of repair cream in the south and the north.

The weather in the north is relatively dry and close to the Tropic of Cancer, so the temperature is relatively low. The repair cream can be used for at least four months after opening. But it is different in the south. The weather in the north is relatively humid and the temperature is relatively high. The repair cream can only be used for a maximum of three months after opening.

What can I do with expired repair cream?

After the repair cream expires, it is a waste to throw it away. It cannot be used on the face, but it can be used on other parts of the body. The skin on other parts of the body is not as sensitive as on the face:

1. Use as hand cream

It is said that hands are a woman’s second pair of hands. Beautiful hands can attract people, but hands also need care. Rubbing expired repair cream on hands can make the skin on hands smoother. Repair cream is usually packaged in small bottles, which is very convenient to take out.

2. Use as body lotion

From the perspective of efficacy, repair cream is better than body lotion. Whether it is moisturizing, whitening or anti-wrinkle, repair cream is superior. Repair cream can replace body lotion.

3. Use as clothing care agent

Many times we like to wear woolen clothes very much. The fur on the surface of woolen clothes should look smooth to look good. However, after wearing it for a long time, the fur will no longer be smooth and will become curly, which looks ugly. At this time, you can apply some repair cream on the surface of the hair to repair the damaged hair fibers and make the hair smooth and soft again.

The shelf life of opened repair cream is different from that of unopened one. Even if the repair cream is expired, it still has other uses, and it would be a waste to throw it away.
