Can I still use a sleeping mask that has expired? How long is its shelf life?

Sleeping mask is a type of facial mask, which means it is used before going to bed. Can it still be used if it expires? What is the shelf life of a sleeping mask?

Can I still use my sleeping mask if it's expired?

cannot. The reason why sleeping masks have a shelf life is that after the shelf life, the ingredients in the sleeping mask will change. First, the original beauty effect will gradually disappear. Based on this point alone, there is no need to continue using it. Secondly, expired sleeping masks have undergone qualitative changes and are likely to produce ingredients that are harmful to the skin. Therefore, it is not recommended to continue using it.

What is the shelf life of a sleeping mask?

Usually, the shelf life of an unopened sleeping mask is about 3 years, but the shelf life of an opened sleeping mask will quickly shorten. It is recommended to use it up within about 6 months after opening. After all, sleeping masks are not completely sealed like patch masks. A can of sleeping mask can be used multiple times. Each time it is used, the sleeping mask will be exposed to the air and the bacteria in the air, which will accelerate the deterioration of the product and change the product's effectiveness.

If the sleeping mask is expired, it cannot be used on the face. Pay attention to the shelf life.
