While we all know we are supposed to replace our toothbrush every three months, it can be pretty confusing trying to remember when we are supposed to replace our various makeup and skin care products.

Since spring is starting, I thought now would be a good time to replace of some beauty products that may have gone bad over the winter.

Here’s a quick guide to when its time to toss various things you have in your makeup bag:

Nail polish - one year

Deodorant – about two years

Foundation – six months (liquid) or two years (powder)

Lipstick and lip gloss – two years

Shampoo and Conditioner – three years

Mascara and liquid eyeliner – three months

Eye Shadow – six months (cream) or two years (powder)

Eye liner and lip liner (pencil) – two years

Body lotion – two to three years

Anti-aging cosmetics – six months
