The UPS Store ® R o u tin ely u p d a te c o s m e tics Cosm etics are not only designed to help individuals improve their appear ance, but they also can be used to treat various ailm ents and conditions. Mil lions of people enjoy the benefits that cosm etics can provide, and while cos m etics are largely considered female products, they can be used by men as well. Makeup, skin creams, ointments, and many other items can be found in homes across the world. It's not uncommon for people to keep beauty products long after these items are past their prime without realizing that these products have shelf lives. Accord ing to Jessica Wu, MD, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the University of Southern California, most beauty products are designed to stay fresh and stable for a limited tim e. Fail ure to routinely update makeup collec tions can result in products not working to their potential and even threatening health, as bacteria can hide away in containers and cause infections. The best way to avoid any issues is to regularly go through cosm etic prod ucts, tossing out old merchandise and buying new items when necessary. This can be done every few months or at the sta rt of the new year.
