180703

MFG 180703 - This is the date printed on the bottom of the bottle of Nivea body lotion which I found in my stash of toiletries. It is exactly 2020 days old. Or 5 years, 6 months and 9 days old. According to Adelene, body lotions have a shelf life of 3 years. Google confirmed it. This lotion is way past its prime!! But the contents seem alright - no funny smell and the consistency looks fine. What should I do? It does seem such a waste to toss a new bottle into the bin. Maybe I'll try some on my legs first. If I do get a rash, I can always wear my jeans to cover up. If my "kiok mou" starts to die on me, then all the better :o) No shaving or plucking in future!

My New Year resolution - Stop my bad habit of over-buying stuff to avoid things expiring on me! (Refer to posting dated 13 Jan 09)
