You have probably thought I’ve lost my noodle, but no – I am very lucid, thankyouverymuch. I know this sounds crazy, but it works: refrigerating your beauty products help them last longer and in some instances perform better. Here are some examples of products I’ve kept in the fridge:
- Lipsticks: I find keeping lipsticks in the fridge quite helpful, especially during the summer. I remember my mom used to do the same. Having lived in Ecuador when it is basically hot all year round, I can see why she did it. Keeping them in the fridge prevented them from melting.
- Face and eye creams and serums: Keeping them chilled prolongs its life, not to mention they feel SOOOO good when applied chilled. Have you ever applied chilled eye cream? I highly recommend it!
- Nail polishes: This is another thing my mom used to do. I’ve noticed that my nail polish doesn’t dry or gunkify as quickly as it would when I just keep it on my counter.
- Perfumes: And yet another thing my mom used to keep in the fridge; I’ve done it once. Why? I like displaying my perfume bottles! However, keeping them in the fridge, and in its box, helps the fragrance last longer.
- Body lotions: How great is it to apply a chilled body lotion after a warm bath or a hot shower? Oooh, how about chilled aloe after a sunburn? Been there, done that.
Have you ever kept any beauty products in your fridge? Did anyone thing you’re crazy for doing this?
