Does sunscreen expire?Updated 20 days ago

Breaking news my friends, yes sunscreen does expire! Just like all skin care and beauty products you will find an expiry date on the bottle that is very important to take a look at to ensure you’re using a product that is still offering you sun protection. On average, sunscreen can last anywhere from 1- 3 years but the formula can actually deteriorate if exposed to direct sunlight for too long. Vi likes being kept in cool, dark places and when she’s out and about be sure to stow her away wrapped in a towel or covered in your handbag. It’s never a good idea to use expired sunscreen as it does not offer you protection from anti-ageing and harmful UV rays.
