Getting ready for the Winter

It’s that time of the year – the cold weather is knocking on the door and we have to take our warm clothes from the closet and keep them handy. We also have to be prepared for what the cold season brings: the refreshing cold breeze but also cold/flu.

Cleaning the medicine cabinet works the same way as the refrigerator: anything post-expiration date must be disposed. Such products contain preservatives and are tested to be effective against contamination up to the expiration date – meaning that after this date, there is no guarantee that you don't have micro organism contamination. The result of consuming infected medication is unpredictable – it can go from an allergy to a more serious infection.

If you are not sure about the date, better to not assume that it’s OK. There is a chance to be fine but even with a slight chance of being contaminated it’s not worth the risk to your health. Important to note that contamination is part of the possible problem - the active ingredient can also turn to a non-effective substance.

Enjoy the most elegant season of the year with the best outfit possible – your health.

Be good and be healthy.
