If the expiry date is not explicitly stated on the bottle, then I have no idea how to read it. I also haven't seen the ingredient list but I imagine it has some preservatives. So you can keep it for 2 - 3 years but I think you should buy a new one soon as the sunscreen ingredient can lose effectiveness over time. Ambre Solaire is from Garnier right?

I'm lazy (I normally just splash some water on my face and off I go), and I hate the feeling of sunscreen on my face. I've learned to tolerate my Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion, but still not well enough. <font color="#990033"><strong>MisSmall</strong>: I see... I can understand why you dislike using it. Since you do not wear so often, then the best would be to avoid direct sunlight whenever you can like wearing sunnies, putting on hats or using an umbrella. Clothing and accessories would definitely help protect your skin to some extent at least. And take more tomatoes! It'll help from inside out too. :)</font> No I don’t. :(

Never happened. My highest record is also 8-10 tubes at one point, which I had to throw out in the end. *Sighs* <font color="#99003"><strong>MisSmall</strong>: Ah...another addict ;) But you don't use it regularly? </font> I kept on buying and hoarding sunscreens in the vain hope that I’ll start using it regularly.
