Most of us women have our share of issues when it comes to clear skin.

There are so many products out there that moisturize dry skin or keep oily skin drier -- it gives me a headache standing in the skin care aisle at CVS.

There are some simple steps we women can take to keep a fresh look though, like cleaning out our makeup bags.

To keep or not to keep? That is the question.

Women’s Health magazine published a timeline in their January/February 2009 issue to let us know when to "toss our beauty tools."

2 Weeks:

  • Razors (up to 20 uses)

3 Months:

  • Loofahs
  • Mascara

6 Months:

  • Depilatory (hair removal) creams
  • Eyeliner
  • Eye shadow
  • Facial moisturizer

9 Months:

A Few Decades:
