Surely you already know by heart the trick of putting cosmetics in the fridge to increase their effectiveness and improve the feeling when applying them. There are even tons of mini fridges for beauty products on the market. What you might not know is that you were putting this trick into practice wrong.

However, not everything has to be cold. The experts in Korean cosmetics from Miin explain that this trick is perfect for products rich in antioxidants such as vitamin E, C or retinol. “These antioxidants are usually very sensitive to sun exposure and heat.” Also aloe vera, decongestants, tissue masks or products that indicate so, they explain.
Everything else is fine in the bathroom cabinet. Especially oils or oil-based cosmeticsbecause at low temperatures they solidify and spoil the formulation of the product beauty.
