Does Sunscreen Expire?

·
Written by Noah Trotter
Sunscreen is an essential skincare product that protects the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. The shelf life of sunscreen is three years from the date of manufacture and can be determined by checking the "use by" or "expiration" date on the product label. Using expired sunscreen can be ineffective and even harmful to the skin, reducing its effectiveness in protecting against harmful UV rays and causing skin irritation, rashes, and allergies. It's crucial to use fresh sunscreen, choose the right SPF for your skin type, reapply every two hours, and follow proper sun protection guidelines to maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin.
