Have you looked in your medicine cabinet? There are probably more items
than you’d expect that are outdated, old or smelly. They need to be thrown out,
even if they’re not empty. Expired items will no longer be effective and may even
be hazardous to your health. Before you toss products into the trash, check out the
tips from the FDA on their website-- -they also provide an updated list of what
expired items may be hazardous to your heath! In addition to looking at dates on
medicine, be sure to also look for cosmetics that may have expired—if the
consistency and/or smell of the product has changed considerably, throw it out.
Also, never share your cosmetics, girls, that’s a good way to spread infections, like
pink eye and mono.
