Below is a do and don't checklist for ensuring that your products maintain their high quality.

Do
Use products within 6 to 12 months of purchase. Ensure that jars, bottles and tubes are sealed properly after use, by making sure the cap is on firmly. Use spatulas provided and, where possible, avoid using fingers.

Don't
Store your products in the car: high temperatures make some products separate and discolour. Store in direct sunlight, for example on a window sill: this can discolour products and cause them to break down prematurely.

Products can become contaminated with water and bacteria by:
Excessive exposure to air and water. Diluting products with tap water, e.g. shampoos and cleansers Sharing products, without using a clean spatula or pad. Mixing two products together, except where specified. Leaving caps off or loose.
