Sunscreen — 3 years? My dermatologist recommends replacing EVERY summer. Just FYI.
Thanks Mel for your every year comment. I’m just reposting from from CBS news, but yes I’ve seen something recently that says the ingredients start to break down after a year. It doesn’t hurt to replace it sooner though so you won’t forget.
