It’s Getting Hot In Here

Now that we are heading into warmer weather, this is a good time to remember what heat and humidity does to our products.

Once, I had the bright idea to leave my sunscreen in my car, so I could reapply when needed.  One warm day, I pumped out a little of the lotion with SPF, and it was lumpy and curdled.  I didn’t even know a lotion could do that.  It was a new, 6 ounce tube, and I felt very wasteful.  Store your products in a cool, dry place.

If something smells or separates, toss it. Bacteria loves warmth, humidity, and liquid, so your products are a very good breeding ground for things to go very wrong.

    "A recommended way of keeping track of exactly how long any product with a shelf life has been opened. Waiting until something smells or separates might be past the time when harmful bacteria is present."
    Dr. Jennifer L. Melville, M.D., M.P.H.

    "A great idea to keep track of how long products have been opened, including personal products and feminine products."
    Dr. Dorcas McLennan, M.D.
