Cosmetics are products used to enhance or alter the appearance of the face, body, or hair. They can include makeup, skincare products, hair care products, fragrances, and more.

Cosmetic products are generally safe when used as directed. However, it's essential to follow instructions and be aware of any potential allergies or sensitivities to ingredients. Always perform a patch test before using a new product, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Cosmetic products have expiration dates indicated on their packaging, usually represented by a symbol of an open jar with a number followed by the letter "M" (e.g., "12M" means the product is good for 12 months after opening). It's essential to discard products past their expiration dates, as they may become less effective or even harbor harmful bacteria.
