Over the past month, bloggers around the world have started uploading pictures of their cosmetics refrigerators, but is this good for your cream?
More and more often we learn about trends from Instagram, and this applies not only to fashion trends and fancy makeup from makeup artists and bloggers, but also to such important things as a beauty refrigerator. It looks like a puppet and takes up a small part of the dressing table. And most importantly, they are presented in delicate pastel shades, as for real princesses.
By the way, manufacturers advise keeping organic cosmetics without preservatives in the refrigerator. And if the funds are chilled, then they will still save from face edema.
Of course, it is rather difficult to call it a basic necessity, but when it is on the table, and even completely filled with jars of creams, how can you deny yourself such a pleasure? In addition, the persistent statement that most modern cosmetics must be stored in the refrigerator immediately comes to mind, and given that its temperature is maintained up to 10 degrees Celsius, which is the norm for a cream or serum, it immediately raises its ratings.
In addition, manufacturers who are now popular with acids advise to store them exclusively in cool places. The same goes for antioxidants, which tend to deteriorate from exposure to light and heat.

– When it comes to extending the shelf life of cosmetics, storage at low temperatures is usually better. This is due to the fact that chemical reactions (for example, oxidation) proceed more rapidly at high temperatures. In the course of such reactions, the formula of the products can change, which affects their effectiveness. The most susceptible to destabilization are funds containing such highly active substances as vitamin C, peptides, retinol.
In theory, most water-based products can be refrigerated. Compositions based on oils, such as whey, can become irreversibly cloudy or stratified during storage. Therefore, it is always useful to familiarize yourself with the composition of the product and the storage recommendations given by the manufacturer. In most cases, this is storage at room temperature in a dark place.
Ps The worst place to store cosmetics is the bathroom, albeit the most convenient. The level of heat and humidity is constantly changing here. Under the influence of heat, the active components of the products can be inactivated, and water condensation can accumulate in loosely closed jars or tubes, creating a favorable environment for the growth of bacteria.
