The PAO symbol should be on the packaging and sometimes on the product itself. Most products also should have an expiry date on the packaging or the product itself. I know that Japanese products do not have expiration dates but they should have PAO symbols.
As for not wasting products I essentially either gift products away if they're not my preference. I just ensure that people I'm gifting them to know that they've been opened and I've used a bit before lol.
I only really open products when I need to like if a review has a deadline, if not I just let it sit in my drawer unopened. Also if no one wants a product I just use it on my body.

I’m so surprised I’ve missed the PAO info! I must just not be reading closely enough. Good to know it’s supposed to be there!
Love the idea of passing along products you’re not a huge fan of! A great way to give them a second life. So hard when it’s something you do like though hahaha
Thank you!

I would say to put what matters first. The older I get the more I realize I don’t need so many, kinda feel sorry for my skin to have to take in so many products at once. I have passed Picky’s giveaway since my last win back in November.
It was hard to reject the temptation at first, but I just keep telling myself what’s more important, kinda think out of the box thing, slowly but sure I become more use to this behavior not just for skincare but other things also. ☺️

Nice! I’ve definitely found myself getting more selective about which giveaways I enter, and I could stand to be even more picky 😜 A simple routine can be great!

the pao is written on the back the graphic is an open jar with the pao inside it. not all products have one. some Asian products don’t say anything. I think most products without expiration dates don’t spoil unless opened so if you finish one thing before opening another it should be fine. you could also store them in the fridge
