This wasn't the case with 80% of the stuff I had so I decided to Google expiration dates... and your blog title caught my eye. After reading about your experience I am a changed woman and will never EVER keep lotions for longer than six months. Thank you Shelly!

After reading about your experience I am a changed woman and will never EVER keep lotions for longer than six months.

Thank you Shelly!

Old perfume can cause breakouts. I had a bottle of something quite old 5+ years and I put a dab behind each ear and the next thing I had a horrible "buzzing" in my ears. Behind my ears and down my neck were all broke out with what looked like water blisters. Skin peeled and was almost like a sun burn, which I quess it sort of was a burn. I don't have to worry about makeup, since I don't wear it, allergic to most brands. Eyelashes fall out the very next day I wear mascara, lips swell from lipstick, and so on. Another mention.

Like you I try to be frugal. But at the cost of our health it isn't worth it. As soon as I post this I am going medicine cabinet raiding. I KNOW I have lotions, etc. since BEFORE I moved to and back again from Phoenix (2002-2005) Time to pitch it all. THANKS Shelly. Like you I try to be frugal.

I only use lotions and creams with natural ingredients. I am still going to go through my old lotions and get rid of them. Wow, good information.
