You're advised to change your mascara every three months
What could be worse than dry mascara, flaky powder and goopy foundation? Well the answer is nothing! It's beyond annoying when your daily routine is broken because of dodgy make-up.
We're all guilty of wearing our concealers and eye pencils down to the nib, using our mascaras a bit longer than is necessarily hygienic, and of course not changing our make-up brushes not nearly enough times in a year.
Well, fear not beauty novices because FemaleFirst are here with a guide to when you should change your make-up, and beauty routine at certain points throughout the year.
Today we're looking at what you should be changing every three months, which thankfully doesn't really include anything too expensive or outlandish.
At this point you should be looking at changing just your mascara, as if it hasn't dried out by now it is almost certainly caked in some form of bacteria.
Wands can be a breeding ground for bacteria, which can cause your eyes to become itchy and sore if you use it past its sell-by date.
Women sharing their mascaras also cause bacteria to become more likely, as you're effectively passing it to gather more germs from other people's eyes!
Although it can be annoying having to splash out on a new mascara every three months, in the long run it will help keep your eyes infection free and lets face it, red puffy and watery eyes are never a good look.
Tomorrow we'll be looking at products you should be looking at changing at six months.
