How do I know if my sunscreen is still effective?
To determine if your sunscreen is still effective, check the expiration date on the packaging. If it has expired, it may not provide adequate protection. Additionally, if the sunscreen has changed in texture, colour, or scent, it’s best to replace it.
Key points:
- Always check the expiration date before use.
- Look for changes in texture, colour, or scent.
- Store sunscreen in a cool, dry place to maintain quality.
- Avoid using sunscreen that has been opened for more than three years.
