## Resource

Sunscreen is essential when on holiday, and in the summer in general. But it doesn’t come cheap, and often the contents aren’t fully used by the time the holiday is over. It’s tempting to reuse bottles from one year to the next, to save money and reduce waste. What many people don’t know though is whether sunscreen remains effective once it’s been opened, or whether using an out-of-date product is dangerous. How can I tell if my sunscreen has expired? What are the risks of using out-of-date sunscreen? What steps should I take to stay safe? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
