Ask any beauty lover about skincare and they’ll tell you that it’s the more the merrier.

Especially because they’re not used every single day.
When it comes to knowing your masks are expired, you’ll need to check the expiration date.
According toOprah, cream and gel face masks can last up to one year if they’ve been opened.
Those are typically the moisturizing and refreshing masks.
Unfortunately, it’s not the same for clay masks.

There’s a very specific label you’ll find with the date on it, and according toByrdie.
“Look for the PAO or period after opening label.
The symbol looks like an open jar.
Of course, you could easily mark on the bottom of the product the date that you opened it.
That way, you know exactly how long your products are staying fresh for.

If nothing else, it’s a great excuse to stock up!
