It does not have to be strictly strict with the expiration dates of any product, but in certain cases, such as in the sunscreen, follow it strictly.

Technically, a sunscreen can last up to three years, which means that under certain conditions the state of the product remains for all this time. However, this theory is no longer true, in most cases, when it goes from the store environment – where the product remains closed and at a constant temperature – to our home.

During the summer, the cream lives between the beach bag, the bathroom or the trunk of the car, being exposed to large temperature differences that greatly reduce the protection capacity of SPF.

Let’s be honest, we refer to the vast majority who are looking for sunscreen only in the summer, and not at all as it is advised to some. It is from this practice that comes the common practice of taking advantage of the product from one year to the other – for the sake of your skin, do not do it, nor did you opt for the most expensive sunscreen you found in the pharmacy, does not mean at all that be the best.

Follow the rule of ‘there are no miracles’. For convenience, we prefer the most durable protection creams, which ensures that it protects us all day with just one application: with the going to the water, a single application will not be enough, so it’s worth a super market version (being that already there are options with enough quality) that knows that it will apply the two, three or four times that it is recommended to him and that at the end of the summer does not count on cream in the bottom of the packaging that is forced to waste.
