How often should you replace mascara?

Replace mascara and eyeliner every 3 months, at the latest after 4 months, even if there is product left.

Eye make-up can contain bacteria after just one use, and each use carries them back into the tube. The University of Rochester Medical Center therefore recommends replacing eye make-up every three to four months. Do not share mascara and throw it away after an eye infection.

  1. Write the opening date on the packaging
  2. Do not share mascara or eyeliner
  3. Throw them away after 3 to 4 months
  4. Throw them away straight after an eye infection
