Health Minute: When to throw out your makeup

Makeup comes with an expiration date and should be replaced accordingly.

(KYMA, KECY/CBS) - In this segment of "Health Minute," we are reminded that makeup comes with an expiration date and we should throw out makeup that's been around for too long.

As more Americans are getting vaccinated, many people are returning to their offices and starting to dress up once again.

Eye makeup, such as eyeliner and mascara should be thrown or replaced after three months.

Lipstick and lipglosses are good for one to two years.

Expired products can harbor potentially harmful germs.
