3 Signs Your Sunscreen Has Expired

Check for separation If the lotion is watery, curdled, or has oil floating on top, toss it. The formula has broken down and won’t protect you.

Look for texture changes Gritty or chunky sunscreen is expired. When in doubt, throw it out—sunscreen is cheap, skin cancer is not.
