Unopened, well-formulated cosmetics can remain stable for a couple of years at room temperature, says Ni'Kita Wilson, a cosmetic chemist at Cosmetech Laboratories in Fairfield, NJ. But the clock starts once you bring a product home and open it.
How long does it take sperm to reach the egg? I would say at least a couple of hours, but it could take up to three days. Depending you your body and where the egg is in the cycle. The sperm that will be able to fertilize the egg will leave the cervix, at the most, 30 minutes. It does not take 3 days for the sperm to get to the fallopian tubes to ovulation.
If an egg is present and ready to be fertilized, the woman will become pregnant. In general, the fastest sperm can swim to the womanâs eggs within 30 minutes. Slower sperm take up to several days to reach the eggs. On average, sperm will only live in the female reproductive organs for about 48 hours to 72 hours. After this time period, they begin to die out. Although millions of sperm may enter the womanâs body, only a few hundred or less will actually reach the egg.
