Every day, you and your family use a variety of different beauty products: shampoo, toothpaste, body wash, face cream, sunscreen... However, not everyone knows which beauty products should be stored in the refrigerator.
1. Beauty Products Ideal for Refrigeration
It may sound surprising, but some beauty products work better when stored in the refrigerator rather than on the makeup table. Let's together 'hunt' for those beauty products!
Cooling Eye Cream
To improve the puffiness around your eyes after waking up, apply eye cream that has been stored in the refrigerator. When cold, the blood vessels around the eyes contract, reducing swelling quickly. For those who often have dark circles due to lack of sleep, applying cold cream also effectively soothes the discoloration.

Allergy relief cream
When experiencing allergic reactions or itching from insect bites, consider applying something cold to the skin. Storing allergy relief cream in the fridge is a smart move, as the sensation of cold will override the itchiness and pain simultaneously. Therefore, keeping the cream chilled ensures a soothing experience.
Cold cream diminishes both itching and pain sensations
Sunscreen
Storing sunscreen in the fridge preserves its quality. External heat can alter the components, similar to when using them under direct sunlight. Over time, the effectiveness of the sunscreen diminishes visibly, and it cannot optimally protect your skin in subsequent uses.
Nail polish
Exposure to heat and light can cause your nail polish to clump and bubble, leading to color changes. Storing the nail polish bottle in the cool compartment of the fridge will preserve the chemical components and enhance the durability of the polish, keeping the color vibrant for a longer period.
Perfume
Improper storage of perfume can result in the loss of its fresh scent, significantly shortening its shelf life. Instead of keeping perfumes in the closet, store them in the refrigerator. A dark and cool environment will prevent alterations in the chemical components of the perfume, preserving its delightful fragrance. Ensure the perfume bottle is tightly sealed and placed in a sealed box before placing it in the fridge.
Acne cream
Acne creams contain chemical formulas and antibiotics that reduce swelling, inflammation, and effectively treat acne. If not used for an extended period, store them in a cold environment to maintain the effectiveness of preservatives and prevent chemical oxidation. However, when using the cream, it's essential to research whether the acne treatment product needs refrigeration to ensure optimal effectiveness.
Lip gloss
If you have a lipstick that you use daily, you might overlook this step. However, for those lip glosses you haven't used or have temporarily stopped using, the best way to store them is in the cool compartment of the fridge. In a cold environment, the chemical components in lip gloss won't degrade, and the gloss won't change color or develop mold. This becomes especially essential in hot weather.

Beauty products with natural extracts
The best way to preserve organic products with natural extracts or handmade beauty products is to place them in the fridge to extend their lifespan and prevent the harmful bacteria from thriving. However, you should only keep them for a few days as they don't contain preservatives and can spoil quickly.
