Lesson Overview

35.2 – Understanding Expiration Dates and Ingredients: Understanding expiration dates and ingredients keeps your hygiene routine safe and effective. Expired products lose strength or may cause irritation, especially items like sunscreen, lotion, or toothpaste. Check packaging for dates labeled “EXP,” “Best Before,” or open-jar symbols indicating shelf life after opening. Ingredients listed first make up the majority of the formula, so focus on what appears at the top. Learn which ingredients to avoid—like harsh alcohols or synthetic fragrances—if you have sensitive skin. Natural doesn’t always mean better; balance awareness with practicality. Replacing products regularly ensures hygiene quality and reduces bacteria buildup. Reading and respecting expiration details is not just about safety—it’s about valuing your health and keeping personal care effective and reliable.
