“A designated skincare fridge is a great way to keep your products active for a longer period of time after opening. Cooling the products helps inhibit bacterial and fungal growth once the product has been contaminated with fingers,” dermatologist Dr. Purvisha Patel tells InStyle. 

Which beauty products should I be storing in the fridge? 

Unstable Serums

Sheet and eye masks 

A cold compress will decrease inflammation and thus help to minimize the appearance of puffy, tired eyes while also calming redness on the skin’s surface. Chrissy Teigen is a fan of this hack, revealing “I put my eye cream in the freezer. Having it nice and chilled and cold for you makes a big difference. It really wakes you up and I have really early call-times, so it helps.” 

Probiotics and supplements

Any toning/balancing/or hydrating mist will feel like light raindrops soothing tired stressed out skin.  “Cooling can also make products soothe [the skin] and feel better when using, especially on those with sensitive skin,” Dr. Patel adds.
