It's no secret that many people prefer to keep their cosmetics in the refrigerator. From generation to generation, ladies believe that the refrigerator prolongs her life and improves her in every way. However, there are those who consider this a myth, since they are sure that cold cosmetics are only harmful. And the only truth is that you can keep certain cosmetics in the refrigerator, not all. Let's talk about it in detail.

You can store in the refrigerator:

Eye cream

Storing eye cream in the refrigerator is perhaps the most talked about cosmetic issue. The refrigerator is only good for this product - or rather, the cooling effect will benefit your eyelids, will have an invigorating and refreshing effect. However, some eye creams are labeled “Do not refrigerate,” and some have a cooling effect even without it.

Thermal and sun protection sprays

These sprays keep well in cold temperatures. In addition, they also give a cooling effect, which is very useful in hot weather.

It is important to store your favorite perfume in a separate container so that the smells of your products do not mix with it, and vice versa.

Perfume

Storage in a cool, dark place has a beneficial effect on the perfume. The fragrances last longer. It is important to store your favorite perfume in a separate container so that the smells of your products do not mix with it, and vice versa.

Remedies

All cosmetics that are medicinal - from acne-fighting products to antibacterial products - are best stored at low temperatures. Nevertheless, read the label carefully - if it says otherwise. However, in the cold, the active ingredients of these products last longer.

Organic and natural cosmetics

While most cosmetics can be stored safely at room temperature, organic (care and decorative) products will last much better and longer in the refrigerator. Homemade masks should also be refrigerated, but only for a few days, because they deteriorate almost as quickly as food.

Do not refrigerate:

Pencils for eyes and lips

Who does not know the old trick - in order for a pencil that is too soft to become stiffer, you need to put it in the refrigerator for several hours (it is easier to sharpen them even after the refrigerator). However, you cannot store pencils in the cold all the time - otherwise they will become too hard, and it will be even more inconvenient to use them.

Foundation and foundations

Liquid foundations and make-up bases should not be refrigerated. Their composition will change from the cold, and this, of course, will not affect your makeup in the best way.

Pomade

In cold temperatures, the lipstick begins to sweat. Protruding droplets are a sign that wax and oils are coming out of lipstick, which means that you can use it for a much shorter period.

Mascara thickens when exposed to cold temperatures. The exception is waterproof mascara.

Mascara

Mascara thickens when exposed to cold temperatures. The exception is waterproof mascara. It is just the same useful to keep it in the refrigerator, since some of the volatile components in its composition evaporate faster in warmth.

Products with oils in the composition

Plain olive oil in the refrigerator changes its consistency (a precipitate appears in the form of white flakes). The same will happen with products that contain oils. They need to be stored at room temperature.

Nail polishes

As for nail polishes, opinions differ. Some argue that the varnish in the refrigerator will dry out faster and deteriorate, while others, on the contrary, really like the effect of the varnish from the refrigerator - it becomes denser. You decide.

Moisturizers & Serums

Even if your moisturizers and serums are oil-free, there are still ingredients in them that can change if stored in the refrigerator for an extended period of time. As a way out - put a little product in a special container, and put the main package in the refrigerator. You will open it less often, which will extend the shelf life of the product.
