What happens when you use shampoo which has expired 3 years ago ?

Q: And what happens when you use body lotion which has expired about 3 months ago??

A: Ahhh, ignore the above answers. That’s hilarious you have shampoo that old. All I would assume would happen is the ingredients in them would separate and would be less useful. The consistency might change a little too as the water in them dries up. The lotion might not feel so nice to lather on because it might be a little lumpy or grainy.However the actual ingredients would remain the same, and I highly doubt it would cause any harm.
