Does is smell okay? Does it have the right texture? If so, it's okay. If not, toss it. Some lotions actually have expiration dates, some don't. Personally, if it doesn't I wouldn't want to be using it anyway, because it's probably all chemicals and petroleum products. P>S> Lanolin is bad, it's made from sheep sweat, mineral oil is bad, it actually DRIES out your skin.

Toss it when the lotion on the inside rim of the container gets crispy. That's my method of judging the freshness!

Well i would start out by looking for a date on the bottle, if you don't find one then do the next best thing... if you don't remember when you bought it and it is getting a little crusty throw it out.... there are plenty more bottles of lotion out there waiting for you to buy them.

when the oil starts separating
about 6 months to a year (depending on what the age was of the lotion when you bought it)

Six months and it begins to separate into its component parts. After a year, using it may give you clogged pores, a rash or worse!

It starts to get thin and smells different than when you bought it.
I always read the ingredients on my body products too.

It depends on the brand, but after awhile it will break down and become watery. It is then past its prime.
