Buying a mini fridge just to keep your skincare and other beauty products may seem excessive but is worth considering. Storing your products in a fridge not only is a great way to prolong the lifespan of your products, whether they are homemade or bought in the shop, but can help make your products work harder for you.
Applying cold products such as masks, toners, creams and serums to the face constricts the blood vessels which can reduce puffiness, reduce inflammation, relieve skin irritation and send nutrients and oxygen to the skin promoting healthier skin. Also keeping your beauty items separate from the food in the fridge is probably more hygienic.
When choosing a fridge consider what items you will be storing. Homemade items store better in compressor fridges as these are designed to keep perishable goods much colder. Thermoelectric fridges are only suitable for chilling items that are non-perishable. It is also worth noting how much noise the fridge makes if you intend to keep it in your bedroom.
