We are in the midst of spring and apart of the spring season is spring cleaning. While you are cleaning your closet, and donating items, you need to go through your makeup and face products. Most people don’t realize that makeup and face products have a shelf life too. On the packaging, you will see a little makeup container with a number inside of it. This is the shelf life of the makeup.

Adria Rook our Los Angeles based makeup artist knows it’s hard to be throw away products.

“I know that I am guilty of keeping things longer than the recommended shelf life,” Rook admits, “If the product hasn’t separated, has the same consistency, or isn’t breaking our your skin then your still good to use it.”

While with spring cleaning, you naturally will be getting rid products. Which will prompt you to try some new products that are healthy for your skin. Rook highly suggests the line called Milk. It’s paraben free, cruelty-free and it’s 100% vegan. There is also no silicone in their makeup. Milk has everything from $40 foundation, to $24 face mask.

Another line that Rook has discovered is Farmacy. Their line incorporates a plant called echinacea green envy and that plant has 300% more antioxidants in the roots. Their products are paraben free, formaldehyde free, synthetic fragrance-free, mineral oil free and cruelty-free. They have a deodorant that “smells amazing” according to Rook. If you’re looking for a line that cares about the planet and your body then they are for you.
