Cosmetics are a great invention of mankind, but like any other product, it has its expiration date, and it is absolutely impossible to use the expired product, because it can lead to irritation and swelling, dermatitis, infections, allergies on the face, which is quite dangerous. But all this can be avoided, for this it is sufficient to know the year of manufacture of the cosmetic product and the period of its validity. Of course, there are manufacturers who make us understandable marks, but many still prefer to use the code for their convenience.
Most often, the code is applied to the bottom of the bottle with cosmetics or packaging. When buying another cosmetic product it is very important to check that the dates on the bottle and on the package match. It is very important to track that the date was precisely knocked out, and not marked on the sticker, in fact, and act unfair sellers.
It is worth remembering that Russian cosmetic companies most often put the date in sequence day-month-year, and in English-speaking countries it is customary to use a different sequence: month-day-year. Also, the cipher is often used for letters, and here it is important to know which letter a year means.
