Throwing your makeup away after three months as a myth really depends on the product, but I don't think so. Most makeup products these days actually have a symbol on the packet that says once opened it will last for three months or six months. Those really are guidelines. The fashion police, or the beauty police aren't going to chuck you in prison for keeping that moisturizer, or that cream blush longer than you should. But just take into consideration that that makeup product actually has preservatives in it and they have an optimum lifespan. If you go past what that optimum lifespan is, you're taking your own hygiene into your own hands.
