How to Properly Store your Skincare Products

How to Properly Store your Skincare Products

With sunny days ahead, let's talk about how to best store your skincare for their safe and effective use:

 

  1. Avoid Hot Spots: Just like us, skincare products don't like extreme heat! Keep them out of hot cars, where temperatures can ruin their goodness.
  2. Chill Your SPF: Planning a beach day? Pop your sunscreen into a cooler bag to keep it cool and effective against those UV rays. 
  3. Think Inside the Fridge: If you're a skincare enthusiast, investing in a mini fridge can be a cool (pun intended) way to keep your products fresh. It feels especially great to apply Toner, hydrator, and gel masks that have been chilled. Keep it at 40 F to 60 F. 
  4. Read the Label: Each skincare product has its own preferences. Check the label for specific storage instructions to keep them happy and potent.
  5. Stay Out of Steamy Situations: While a hot shower can be relaxing, it's not ideal for your skincare. The steam and humidity in the bathroom can be harmful to some products. Instead, opt for a rolling cart or caddy outside the shower. This keeps your skincare accessible yet away from the steam, ensuring they stay potent for longer.
  6. Shade is Your Friend: Skincare loves a cozy, dark spot away from direct sunlight. A cool cabinet or drawer will do!
  7. Seal the Deal: After each use, make sure to tightly close those lids to keep your skincare fresh and clean.

Taking these small steps ensures your skincare products stay effective and your skin stays glowing. If you've got any questions or need advice, we're always here for you!
