SHAKE UP YOUR MAKE-UP

EXPERTS EXPLAIN WHEN TO DITCH OLD COSMETICS, BY SARA KEENAN

- 

WE HAVE probably all been guilty of holding on to a mascara or a make-up brush for a little too long.

However, Amish Patel, a qualified pharmacist and practitioner in medical aesthetics at Intrigue Cosmetic Clinic, says it's important to declutter regularly, because if we don’t it could damage our skin.

"If you're going to use out-of date-products, quite often, these products can break down. They can have toxic chemicals in them, and when they're broken down can cause irritation to the skin, along with dermatitis and allergic reactions," says Amish.

Charlene Flanagan, professional makeup artist and co-founder of Ella & Jo, adds that taking care of your make-up products and tools is just as important as a skincare routine.
