We hate to break it to you, but skincare expires.
That old face mask you like and spent a pretty penny on? Probably expired.
It's a real issue in the beauty industry.
When so much newness is thrust in consumers' faces, many items go bad before they're used up – because shoppers have a lot open at the same time.
Skincare brand Gallinée is trying to fix that.
The brand is renowned for focusing on probiotic ingredients and the microbiome – an increasing area in the beauty sphere – which benefit all skin tones.
Due towards the vast quantities of beauty items destroyed in the UK, the Anti-Waste Operation was launched.
It's estimated that between 20% and 40% of beauty items end up as waste.
One way this occurs is through products approaching no more their shelf life and having to be disposed of.
To reduce their own stock waste, Gallinée has launched a sale section by which they'll clean out items closer to the expiration date – but that still have enough time to be used up.
Products is going to be slashed by 70% both in the UK and US, meaning shoppers can buy cheaper and still benefit from the product for months.
Currently on the site you will find products up for sale that expire in the summer through to September – meaning there's potentially nine months in which to use them.
