When to toss makeup

This is an ongoing dilemma for women .. you spend good money on a product and then it sits for a while ... but you don't want to toss it because of your investment.
Well, a new report froom Baylor Regional Medical Center in Texas says .. give it over.
Mascara and liquid eye shadows/liner should get the boot after 3 months of being opened .. same with liquid foundation - powder and powder foundation should get the heave ho after a year. The problem- bacteria can get into these products and make for skin troubles or pink eye.
And you know those applicators that get daily use - toss them every week .. they're cheap enough to buy a good supply. Your brushes should be washed with mild soap and water.
And NEVER share makeup .. too much opportunity for infection sharing .. even is someone doesn't have an outbreak of herpes simplex- cold sores - they can still transmit the virus.
When in doubt - throw it out . .if the texture has changed or it smells funny - time to get rid of it.
