So, serious question, do you ever check the expiration dates of your skincare?
After our Customer Service Team recently flagged that some of our community didn't seem to know much about it, we decided to investigate further. Having surveyed 2,021 people with skincare routines, less than a fifth (17%) of skincare fanatics actually keep track of their products' expiration dates, our new research has found.
But why is it so important to keep track of when your skincare expires?
If you want to get the very best results out of your skin products, it's crucial that you make checking expiration dates a habit. Kimberley Hulme, Head of Clinic at Face the Future, says that “January is the perfect time to take a good look at your skincare and beauty products and think about getting rid of anything that isn’t performing for your skin as it should."
Here's what we've discovered...
