But we do use it a lot, so there isn't a ton left over. If it was left out in the heat, I would definitely replace it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2395717 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:17:19 +0000 snowjewelz 2395717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes, I hope ours don't expire by next summer! It was so expensive for a little tube for DD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2395087 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 14:19:01 +0000 regberadaisy 2395087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only use them a few months out of the year here so I buy new ones yearly but keep the old ones in diaper bags as back up. My Daycare usually give back last year's and ask us to bring new ones in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2395084 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 14:15:05 +0000 Keybee 2395084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use them until they run out, they are expensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2395075 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 13:49:55 +0000 Boogs 2395075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use them until they run out, which isn't usually too long. We've occasionally found some we forgot about and tossed because it was so past the expiration date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2394948 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 10:03:31 +0000 FaithFertility 2394948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use it pretty frequently in FL so it is almost always gone within 5-6 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2394945 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 10:00:47 +0000 yin 2394945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Expiration date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2394877 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 04:40:19 +0000 lamariniere 2394877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also go by expiration date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2394782 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 20:34:08 +0000 mediagirl 2394782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep them until they are empty. If they don't work, I'll toss them then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2394723 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 17:26:00 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2394723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use it until it's gone. Never had a problem with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2394709 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 16:58:12 +0000 tinyperson 2394709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go by expiration date </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2394697 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 16:28:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 2394697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I save it for the next summer but try to use it up early in the season, unless it looks weird. Dh saves his forever. I only get mineral stuff for me and LO and Dh likes the chemical stuff and thinks it's fine I keep it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2394690 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 16:20:43 +0000 Tanjowen 2394690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I opened and used it, I toss it out. If I buy it the end of season on sell, I just make sure the expiration date is good until the end of the following summer and store them in a closet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2394688 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 16:19:51 +0000 DesertDreams88 2394688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go by the expiration date. We use a lot, so normally it's never an issue. The only ones we have a hard time using up are our face sunscreens or our super-high SPF we use for all-day hiking. I know what "they" say about high SPFs, but here in AZ.... lather up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2394680 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 15:54:42 +0000 MrsF 2394680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes. I have some pretty old ones for DH and myself. I suppose the kids ones are not as old. It's so expensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2394675 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 15:48:12 +0000 Andrea 2394675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go by the expiration date. We have some I bought this summer that say 2017 so I'm gonna keep using them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2394673 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 15:45:22 +0000 MamaCate 2394673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: No I keep them until they run out! But we do use sunscreen most of the year so I don't really keep track of which one I bought when. I am sure for grownup sunscreen I have used it for more than a year and it still worked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-save-sunscreens-for-more-than-a-season#post-2394669 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 15:31:35 +0000 winniebee 2394669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sunscreen is so expensive I hate throwing it away! But I've read sunscreen is only guaranteed effective for a year. Do you go by that rule? Do you toss them after a season? </p>
