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