It's something we often overlook – the expiration date of our sunscreen. But does sunscreen expire_? The short answer is yes. All sunscreens have a shelf life beyond which their efficacy diminishes. But what's the science behind this, and how does it affect the performance of the sunscreen? Moreover, how does Bask's sunscreen, with a shelf-life of 3 years, compare with other products in the market?

Why Sunscreen Expires: The Science Explained
Simply put, sunscreens expire because their active ingredients lose their potency over time, resulting in decreased effectiveness. As a sunscreen passes its expiration date, it will not provide adequate protection against the sun's harmful UV rays. This increases the risk of sunburn and long-term sun damage.

What Happens When Sunscreen Expires?
When sunscreen expires, not only does it provide less protection, it may also undergo physical changes. It might become lumpy or change color, making it less pleasant to use. Even worse, expired sunscreen might no longer spread evenly on your skin, leaving you with patchy protection.
