How often should you replace your mascara?

[Neha’s Makeup Artist]

There are some makeup products that are nice to have and others that are simply essential. For ex - if you really have to, you can go without items such as brow powder or blush, right? But right at the top at the list of essential items, the one thing you never want to find yourself without is mascara. In just a few short sweeps mascara will accentuate your eyes, giving you defined and longer eyelashes. But how often should you be replacing this product?

I've read and heard experts say that you need to get a new one after 3 months. I personally extend usage of the product since I don't use it a lot. Not a good practice but luckily I've not experienced any negative effects. But if I would be using it regularly, I definitely would replace it as per the experts' recommendation. It does make sense that the product can accumulate more germs/bacteria faster if used regularly.
