I accidentally ordered A LOT of sunscreens, do they expire?
I accidentally purchased 13 sunscreens from Yesstyle/Stylevana (I didn’t know my Stylevana order went through because they suck big time and thought they lost my order but ended up shipping it so I ordered from Yesstyle after a month), and am now worried they will expire before I use them all. I’m a broke bitch, and I don’t want to waste any of them. Realistically, it’ll probably take me at least a year or two to finish them all. Is that fine? I’m really worried!
Yes, there are expiration for sunscreen, usually 2 to 3 years from the manufacture date (if unopened). Generally, 1-year expiration is opened as long as it has not exceeded the unopened expiration rate.
I go through 1 to 2 bottles of 50 ml sunscreen per month.
13 sunscreens should last 13 months so you will be fine if you use it daily and reapply. They tend to expire in 1-3 years and have the date listed on the bottle. In reality, they might just be less effective after the expiration but still work
Either you have a super big face, or the two-finger sunscreen method is not working for me. Mine last longer than a month! Even when I used to work in-person 5x/week
Depends on how much you use and how big those bottles are. I am a very indoor person and I use more than 50 ml of sunscreen per month (it was more or less 50 ml before the warmer months, but I am trying to be better in hopes of fading my PIH). I expect to use more or less 75 ml and perhaps even double it if I go outside in the summer.
The boxes should have expiry dates on them. I always order my sunscreen from Stylevana and they all have a small sticker with expiry (usually 2-3 years) so personally 13 will get used up in that time. Which sunscreens did you purchase?
Bit late, but I’m just now realizing I’m an anomaly for how often I use sunscreen. I easily reapply 3-4 times a day on days off, but can easily go through 8-10+ applications in a work day (when working outside).
