We usually find ourselves wondering about all things beauty and skincare. This is just to know what’s new or what we need to add to our routine. And there’s this one topic that just keeps popping up and makes us all curious – the skincare fridge trend. Yes, that little fridge dedicated solely to our skincare products. We wouldn’t say this is a new trend because it’s been around for a while now. If you ever saw some face cream in your fridge at some point in your life then you get it.
First things first, when we say skincare fridge, we’re talking about a small, usually compact fridge that we use specifically to store our skincare products. But why, in the first place? Well, it turns out, there’s a pretty cool reason behind it (pun intended). The cooling effect we get from storing our products in the fridge feels absolutely amazing, especially during those hot days or when our skin feels puffy or inflamed.
But here’s the thing – it’s not all about the soothing, cooling effect. Many of our skincare products like water-based vitamin C products, toners, hyaluronic acids, retinoids, sheet masks, face creams, eye patches, facial gels, jade rollers actually benefit from being stored in a cooler environment. This isn’t just about them feeling nicer on the skin. It’s about increasing its strength and ensuring our products work their best. However, not all skincare products need to be in the cold, like oil based and clay products.
We understand that skincare is more than a routine; it’s a form of self-love. That’s why when we invest in products, especially those that are a bit on the pricier side or are made with sensitive ingredients, we want them to last and remain as effective as the day we got them. By keeping them in a skincare fridge, we help protect the formulas – particularly for products that are natural and contain fewer preservatives. Truthfully, warmth can mess with these formulas, reducing their benefits or even causing them to spoil sooner than expected.
The cooling sensation also helps us to take a moment, breathe, and really indulge in our skincare routine. It turns a daily routine into a nice moment of serenity and self-care.
We’re not saying you must rush out and get a skincare fridge this instant. Actually, a regular fridge would do the job. However, we make sure not to put the products directly next to food or any unclean surfaces to avoid contamination. But if you’re a bit extra about skincare and want to protect your investment in products, it might be worth it. It’s all about making choices that feel right and spark joy into our daily lives.
In the end, our community is all about sharing tips, experiences, and even our little beauty secrets. Whether you decide to join the skincare fridge trend or not, remember, the most important thing is to listen to your skin, treat it with love, and find joy in your skincare journey.
