? About Sunscreen

[Texian@WDW]

Does it go bad? I have about five bottles with no expiration dates. Will it hurt if we use them? Some I've probably had three years.

It's not as effective. I used sunscreen that expired last September for a couple hours outside in April here in NH. BIG mistake. Granted, I'm fair skinned, but after that incident we've started labelling the sunscreen bottles with the date that we buy them, and we'll pitch them at the end of the season (a big waste, since we dont have enough sunny hot days to use up all the sunscreen in one season)

I would toss the bottles that are 3 years old, they have very little protection left.

Thank's ya'll. I'm just going to assume that since they don't have an expiration date, they are too old. I'm gonna toss. Hate wasting but we're going to WDW Fla. on Sat and I think we'll need sunscreen.

I will carry over sunscreen from one summer to the beginning of the next summer, but not anything older than that.
