1. Expired Personal Care Products<\/h2>\n![\"Personal](\"https:\/\/www.kohlerwalkinbath.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/personal-care-items.jpg\")
\n
Expired medicine, makeup and personal care products can lurk in your drawers and take up precious counter space needed for items you use daily.<\/p>\n
Over time, cosmetics can break down and collect germs, which may cause inconsistent color and application and put you at a greater risk for infection or irritation. This makes it especially important to toss these products when they go bad.<\/p>\n
To help you know how long you should keep your toiletries, we\u2019ve listed the typical shelf life of common bathroom products below:<\/p>\n
Makeup<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n- lipstick\u00a0 |\u00a0 18\u201324 months<\/li>\n
- foundation & concealer\u00a0 |\u00a0 12\u201318 months<\/li>\n
- mascara & liquid eyeliner |\u00a0 3\u20136 months<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Personal Care<\/h3>\n\n- toothbrush |\u00a0 3 months<\/li>\n
- skincare |\u00a0 12 months<\/li>\n
- loofahs |\u00a0 3-4 weeks<\/li>\n
- nail polish |\u00a0 12 months<\/li>\n
- perfume |\u00a0 3-5 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

\n\n\t\n \n 2. Duplicate Travel-Size Toiletries<\/h2>\n![\"Wooden](\"https:\/\/www.kohlerwalkinbath.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/kwib-shampoo-bottles.jpg\")
\n
It\u2019s smart to double up on mini toiletries in case you run out and need a backup quickly. Plus, who can resist taking home the free bottles of shampoo and conditioner when they stay at a hotel?<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, your collection of travel-size bottles can quickly overtake your bathroom drawer or cabinet space if you don\u2019t purge every once in a while.<\/p>\n
You could move duplicate products to a guest bathroom to help make overnight visitors feel welcome. Although if most of your containers are half empty, you may want to just toss them. In the future, consider buying reusable bottles and filling them with your own shampoo, body wash and lotions to reduce the clutter.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n
Throwing things away can be really hard, even if they\u2019re products you have no desire to use again (maybe it was expensive or a gift). A good rule of thumb is if you haven\u2019t used it within the last three months, get rid of it. Don\u2019t let that unwanted hand lotion or broken hairdryer sit on your counter or in your drawer indefinitely and take up valuable real estate.<\/p>\n
For items that you just can\u2019t part with, try separating them into everyday and special occasion piles. Make sure products you use daily are easy to reach on the vanity counter and put those used infrequently under the sink or in a bathroom cabinet.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n
<\/p>\n
Save space by taking items out of their original bulky packaging and storing them in a small decorative jar. This solution works great for loose items like cotton swabs, cotton balls, hair ties and bobby pins. If you display them on the counter, choose a holder that matches your bathroom style.<\/p>\n
To free up your area even more, combine any partially used products like shampoo or body wash into one bottle, and then recycle the empty one.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
