There’s a number of benefits from storing your beauty products in the refrigerator. It can help with puffiness, redness and soothe irritated skin. Not all skincare is advised for the cold temperatures however, due to the ingredients and their natural consistency. These are the three  categories I store in my fridge currently.

Eye masks

Eyes – in particular the under eyes, are prone to puffiness. Especially in the morning. I store a variety of eye masks and creams in the fridge. I have a gel (Zorro type) mask that cools the whole eye contours. Circular gel pads that I can travel with as they’re small and mess free. Then I have creams and gels that are topically applied to the skin around the eyes to cool and soothe.

Face masks

Skin can flare up at any time. Medication, environmental factors, stress and products can cause a breakout, flare up or inflammation. Calm the skin with a cooling mask, choose either full face gel masks, sheet masks or overnight masks.

Lip Masks

These can moisturise and / or plump. I like to use a gel lip sheet mask to hydrate and calm the burning sensation I can get when my lips are very dry and tight, thanks to central heating and freezing winds. It’s also great when used after a lip scrub to create a smooth base before applying a dark or bold lip!
