Quick swap guide

We’ll show how often to swap razors, brushes, and makeup.

At a glance

Quick cheat sheet: razors 5-10 shaves, brushes clean weekly, mascara toss after three months.

Shelf check routine

Do a full shelf check four times a year, wipe it, and bin anything past its date. If short, just check razor and mascara.

Razor blade cues

Use a blade for five to ten shaves; replace when it tugs, you need to shave the same spot twice, or you see rust or extra redness.

Barber razor safety

In Pakistan and India, shared razors can spread hepatitis. Insist on a fresh, unwrapped blade each time, or bring your own.

Hairbrush lifespan

Replace a brush when bristles break or bend. Clean weekly: soak in warm shampoo water, then dry bristles down.

Makeup expiry signs

Check the open-jar icon for months after opening. Toss if it smells sour, separates, changes colour, or stings.

Unopened doesn’t mean forever; follow the printed expiry date if it’s there.

When to see a doctor

Red eye or painful razor cut that won’t stop bleeding needs a doctor. Keep blades away from kids.
