Have you ever stopped to think how long those lipstick tubes or mascara have been sitting in your makeup draw? You may not think about it. But you should. Old makeup can harbor bacteria and/or fungus. And of course, there is the matter of the makeup components breaking down. If you apply these to your face and lips, you can cause some serious infections and skin irritation. So, I have listed below how long you can keep your makeup before giving it the old heave ho into the garbage can.

Mascara: 3 months
Self Tanners: 6 months to a year
Lip Gloss: 1 year
Lipstick: 1 1/2 to 2 years
Eye and lip pencils: 2 years
Foundation and concealer: up to 2 years
Lotions: 2 years
Sun protection: 2 years
Blush: 3 years
Deodorant: 3 years
Eyeshadow: 3 years
Moisturizers: 3 years
Nail Polish: 6 months to 4 years
Fragrance: 1 to 4 years 

This should give you a good rule of thumb on when to toss that old makeup out. And keep this is mind: If you can't remember when you bought or received it, just toss it!
