Face cream / Body cream / any type of cream

[MagicalMay]

Sorry i dont know where this thread should be.

I have a draw full of different types of creams - some brand names, some tanning, some cented, alsorts.
My mum said yesterday that you should only keep open cream for a few mths then bin it............ Is this true?
I have some really really really good sun burn cream that i have had for a few years now it smells fine and looks fine..
the rest of my creams i have had for a year or so.

Should i bin the lot and start again & stick to the few mths only mark?

Anyone......................

depends how much you care - it's not like it's mascara.

I'd have a clearout, ditch the ancient funny-smelling ones / ones you never use etc and use the space for something else.

Thank you MrsBadger
Yeah think i will bin them all and start again, that means i have to go shopping doesn't it i like the sounds of that hehe
How long do you reckon i should keep them open for from now on? 5mths maybe?

buy fewer and use them up quicker perhaps?
