Can expired skin care essential oils be used?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I would like to ask if the skincare essential oil at home can still be used after expiring, or is it better to throw it away?

Doctor's answer:

Essential oils used for skincare are excellent for moisturizing the skin, but the price for them is quite high. Therefore, don't throw them away easily. Since essential oils are good for skin nutrition, they should also be effective for leather care. They can be used to polish shoes, leather jackets, and other leather items.
Expired essential oils, although not suitable for direct skin application, can still be used for aromatherapy.
When cleaning the floor, a few drops of expired essential oil can be added to the mop or the floor cleaner to freshen the scent. You can also place them at the bottom of the trash can or in the toilet. Additionally, expired essential oils can be used for leather care.
