A helmet should be replaced about once every 5 years if it's been properly taken care of and hasn't been involved in an accident or some other impact. Helmets are made of materials which begin to deteriorate with age which gives them a limited life span. Just dropping your helmet from waist height onto a concrete floor could compromise some of the materials used in the construction of your helmet liner so take care not to carelessly drop your helmet or accidently knock it off your bike. If your helmet HAS been involved in an accident or some other first time impact, all of the safety features are compromised once the helmet has become distressed in some way.
The interior liner will start to deteriorate once it comes in contact with hair oils, body oils or fluids (sweat) and/or cosmetics. Glues, resins, and other materials that are used in the construction of the helmet will eventually break down which will affect the interior liner of your helmet and compromise it's protective qualities.
In order to make sure the protective qualities of your helmet last as long as possible, ensure you take care of it by cleaning the interior liner and keeping it in a safe place free from accidental falls and knocks when not on your head.
