Brilio.net - One important way to care for your face is to use skincare. Using skincare regularly and adjusting your skin condition will have a good effect on your face. Although sometimes to get maximum results, it takes a long time and consistent effort.
There are various types of skincare, starting from the form, use, to the differences in the ingredients in each skincare. A good skincare user can certainly classify what types of ingredients are suitable for their facial skin. Such as the niacinamide content which functions to overcome acne skin problems.
Apart from that, it contains hyaluronic acid which can provide moisture to the skin. We need to take care of the benefits of each ingredient in skincare so that the ingredients are not damaged. Don't store the product incorrectly, because this will affect the quality of the ingredients in it.
When it comes to skincare storage, it can't be separated from the dressing table drawer or refrigerator. However, can all skincare products be stored in the refrigerator, or only certain products? On this occasion, briliobeauty.net on Monday (4/3) will summarize for you 10 skincare products that can and cannot be stored in the refrigerator, they can affect their shelf life.
Skincare products that can be stored in the refrigerator.
1. Sheet Masks.

Who likes to use a sheet mask in cold conditions? This cold sensation is often sought after. Fortunately, you don't need to worry every time you put the sheet mask in the refrigerator, because it won't have any effect on the product other than a cold sensation when used on the face. When put in the refrigerator, the liquid content of the sheet mask will not increase or decrease.
2. Toner.

As we know, the function of toner is to neutralize the pH on our facial skin after we use facial wash. Apart from that, this liquid type of toner provides a fresh effect on the face. To make it even fresher, you can put the toner in the refrigerator to get a cold sensation.
Apart from that, if you have hydrating toner then you should store it in the refrigerator. This is because hydrating toner contains antioxidants which need to be refrigerated for maximum performance.
3. Moisturizing Gel.

There are several moisturizer ingredients that should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Apart from moisturizer, any skincare product in gel form should be stored in the refrigerator. This is to maintain the active ingredient content in it. The benefits of the ingredients in the product will be maximized if the active ingredients in it are maintained.
Apart from that, you will get a cool and soothing sensation when you first store the gel moisturizer in the refrigerator.
4. Retinol and Vitamin C.

The retinol and vitamin C serum content in skincare is quite susceptible to sun exposure. This is also because retinol and vitamin C contain active ingredients that are easily oxidized. So, you can really store retinol and vitamin C serum in the refrigerator.
5. Eye Mask or Eye Cream.

You should put eye mask and eye cream products in the refrigerator because the jam has a cooling effect on the eyes when using it. The cold temperature of the refrigerator makes these products better for relieving tired eyes and swollen eyes.
Skincare products that should not be stored in the refrigerator1. Sunscreen.

You need to store sunscreen in a cool place, not cold like a refrigerator. Store sunscreen at room temperature which tends to be stable. This is because sunscreen contains inappropriate ingredients and is not good if stored in a place that is too cold, such as a refrigerator.
2. Face Oil or Oil Based.

Any skincare that contains oil based ingredients should not be put in the refrigerator. Because if it is stored in the refrigerator later, the product will thicken and even harden and can no longer be used. Just store the face oil at room temperature and not exposed to direct sunlight.
3. Clay Mask and Clay Based.

If you store claymask or other clay-based skincare products in the refrigerator, the products will harden easily. If the texture of the product hardens, you will definitely have difficulty using the product and you won't be able to use it again if the texture doesn't soften anymore. So, store the clay mask at room temperature, okay?
4. Skincare products in the form of balms.

The texture of the balm itself is soft and smooth so it is easy to apply and still moisturizes the skin. However, if the consistency of the balm is put in the refrigerator, it will harden and be difficult to apply to the face. It is best to store skincare products in balm form in a place with a stable room temperature, and not directly expose them to sunlight or in hot room conditions, because they will melt.
5. Moisturizing cream.

One of the reasons why moisturizing cream should not be refrigerated is that it contains oil and water. If this moisturizing cream is put in the refrigerator, it is possible that the texture will change. If the texture changes, the effectiveness of the product and its properties may be reduced.
