What could you use to inform your purchase? There’s your own past experience with a product, but perhaps you wanted to try something new. Maybe you’d heard good (or bad) […]

Why the Beauty Industry’s Overuse of the Term “Anti-Aging” is Annoying as Hell
As a beauty writer, I get so many products that are labelled “anti-aging” and I am tired of it. I don’t know who made the decision to use it as a blanket term, but somehow that’s the only term ever used anymore. I imagine because it’s effective. Many women have become so frightened by society’s abhorrence of […]

Shower beauty products: From self-tanner to moisturizer, 5 picks that are made for water
Unless we’re talking about cosmetic waters (aka essences), H20 doesn’t really have our back. Sure, we like it when it means our skin is hydrated, or when we want that wet hair look. But in those cases it’s on our terms. When it isn’t, it can be a beauty bully; in the form of sweat, […]

Sack or salvage: How to tell when it’s time to toss a beloved beauty product
Photography by Peter Stigter Sack or salvage? Find out now »
Knowing when to toss out a beauty product can be tricky. Between expiration dates, PAO labels and your own fickle fondness for a certain shade or finish, there are a lot of factors to consider. Not to mention, the physical act of throwing a product into the garbage before it’s completely empty just feels wrong. (Especially when you consider how much money is being tossed out with it!)
However, when it comes to the health of your skin, lids, lips, lashes and hair, it’s important to clean out your beauty bag on the regular. Just like food and medicine, the symptoms of expired beauty products range from ingredients that no longer work (goodbye, skin-firming promises!) to becoming an attractive place for bacteria to settle. That being said, expiration dates “mean nothing if the product isn’t cared for correctly,” says Pierce Rees, a manager with Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Boutique. “Bathrooms and cars are a big no-no and never refrigerate a product unless indicated, as it can break down actives.”
