If you think that the refrigerator was created in order to store only food or medicine there, then you are mistaken. We found a few more things that you can (and should!) Keep in a cool place. Frankly, our editors were also somewhat surprised when they saw this list for the first time.
In fact, many, including our beauty editor, knew that some beauty products needed to be kept in the refrigerator. After all, in this case, they will work better and last you longer. We list the “lucky ones” who have a place exclusively on cool shelves.
Eye cream. Lowering the degree will definitely benefit this beauty product. In addition, when applying the product to the eyes, the coolness will help remove swelling and swelling and quickly restore the face after sleep.
BB creams and concealers. A cool, dark place is the best way to preserve the texture of these products. Especially if you don’t use them every day and spend quite slowly. Other water-based creams can be refrigerated. Just do not confuse and do not put oil-based cosmetics in the same place. For example, coconut oil hardens when cooled, making it harder to distribute the product containing it evenly.
Eyeliner… To make the soft lead harder and better apply, simply place your product in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Organic Cosmetics… Everything seems to be logical here. After all, homemade cosmetics do not contain preservatives, so you should only store them in a cool place. Thus, the beauty product will not deteriorate and will last much longer.
Perfume. Favorite perfume or eau de toilette on the shelf in the bathroom is a familiar picture, isn’t it? In fact, this is the worst place for your favorite scent. Direct contact with heat, steam and moisture can ruin it pretty quickly. Where to look for protection? Yes, here, in the kitchen. Hide the bottle in the refrigerator, and the perfume will be safe and sound longer.
Nail polish… If everything is more or less clear with the previous points, then when we got to this line, at first we decided that this was some kind of mistake! It would seem that in the refrigerator, the varnish, on the contrary, will thicken and will be worse applied to the nails, but no. In fact, keeping it cool will help extend the life of this product. Yes, the product will become a little thicker, so it is better to hold the bottle in warm hands before use. But it is very possible to put varnishes, which you do not use so often, on the refrigerator shelf.
To be honest, even our violent imagination would not have been enough for this! It was never assumed that the refrigerator can be used as a kind of wardrobe.
Jeans. It would seem, why shove this piece of clothing into the refrigerator? It turns out that if you put your jeans in the freezer for several hours, they will look much fresher and brighter, as if you were wearing them for the first time. It doesn’t matter the last time you tried to wash them!
Tights. This is completely out of the realm of fantasy! But if you put nylon tights in the freezer, the elastic fibers will become much stronger. This way, you don’t have to worry about arrows or clues – the tights will last much longer.
New shoes. Well, yes, the further – the more and more strange. But if suddenly your new shoes smell harsh (which happens to leather things, especially bright colors), then they belong there. Night in the freezer and the smell was gone. Only pack in the bag first. By the way, in the freezer you can also stretch your shoes if the new thing rubs the legs.
Any clothing that has chewing gum sticking to it. Unfortunately, this happens. It is especially offensive when a gum thrown by someone is firmly glued into a favorite thing and does not want to be peeled off to the end. We act in three steps: we opened the freezer door, put the soiled object in a plastic bag, and closed the door. After 20-30 minutes, get it out – and voila! It will be possible to remove the elastic with a slight movement of the hand.
Here we have collected a few more things that also acquire a new quality after lying in the refrigerator.
Flowers. It is not for nothing that they maintain a cool temperature in all floristic salons. And for especially valuable specimens, a special refrigerator is even provided, in which the plants stay fresh longer. Therefore, if you need your luxurious bouquet not to wither before the event starts, just put it in the fridge.
Pillow case. This advice is relevant in the summer, when it is impossible to fall asleep at midnight due to the heat. Just put your pillowcase in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer for a couple of hours. Or at least 15 minutes. And hurray! Now you can turn the pillow over when one side is hot and the other stays cool longer.
Sleep mask. Perhaps you only use it on the road – for example, to sleep peacefully on the plane. But at home, you should not put a sleepy accessory on the back burner, especially if it is a mask with gel pads in the eye area. After holding it in the refrigerator, put it on your face for a while and lie on your back for 15-20 minutes. You will not only relax and invigorate, but also refresh the skin, make bags under the eyes less noticeable.
Sealed envelope. Of course, in our time, rarely does anyone write real letters, but still. If, for example, you have prepared a package of documents for sending, sealed the envelope, but forgot to put an important piece of paper in it, do not despair! The envelope is in the bag, the bag is in the freezer. After a couple of hours, the envelope will open easily. And after a while, the glue will warm up, the envelope can be neatly sealed again.
Wax candles. Uncommon, but still found in modern homes. In hot weather or in a kitchen “climate” they can literally float, losing their shape and qualities. So it is better to store a box or a bag of candles in the refrigerator – for example, on the door.
