I replied to a blo...Thank you thank you thank you !<br />I replied to a blog post about mascaras and expiry dates of makeup in general a few weeks ago, where I expressed more or less the opinion of this blog post, but didn't have the scientific backup that you have, so now I really feel good for thinking the way I think.<br />Which is really a commonsense approach. Expiry date doesn't mean your product can't go off before then. But then it also means that it can last after that date. Avoid cross contamination by not sharing (you're kind of used to your own bugs, but getting bugs off of someone else can lead to infection). Avoid your own contamination by throwing away products you've been using if you had an infection. Thorough hygiene is essential. <br />Health professionals keep bombarding us with info that contradicts itself. And obviously some companies use it as a marketting technique (why not scare people into buying 3 mascaras a year instead of 1). <br />I work in a pharmacy. I have never seen people get eye infections from wearing makeup. I have never had an eye infection from wearing makeup, for the past 15 years, some of it being a lazy teenager not so keen on cleaning my face, brushes etc. But I got conjunctivitis from my son, who got it from other children at nursery, who got it from other children, mainly through contact. They don't wear makeup. I wasn't wearing makeup when I got it. <br />Just stick to your instincts. If the mascara is still of good consistency, colour, and smell, then it's probably still ok to use.<br /><br />Thanks for this very very interesting post xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840746137854889977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968710057868332316.post-21511846029744064272010-03-11T19:49:28.894+00:002010-03-11T19:49:28.894+00:00@ m a d s - I think putting mascara in the fridge ...@ m a d s - I think putting mascara in the fridge is probably a myth, extreme hot or cold is not that great for any cosmetics product.

I wonder if this is also just myth. Personally I believe a little dirt won't kill you!
