Sunscreens are required to have expiration dates on their packaging.
Each sunscreen is tested to a specified expiration date.
Beyond this, there is no guarantee that it will offer the same kind of protection.
Where Can You Find the Expiration Date on Sunscreen?
Look for the expiration date on the back or bottom of a sunscreen container.
What Happens if You Use Expired Sunscreen?
Store SPF in a cool, dark place (or at least out of direct light).
Whats the Difference Between Sunblock and Sunscreen?
While you may have been using the two interchangeably, they arent the same thing.
Sunblock acts as a physical barrier, blocking UV rays, while sunscreen reflects the light.
