How to prevent cosmetics from spinning in hot weather?

When you find your lipstick all melted, the skincare oil has turned rancid and the moisturizer starts to clump, it’s a sign that a heat wave passed and changed their formulacreated to remain stable in a dry and temperate storage environment. To avoid this kind of inconvenience (not very nice knowing the price of cosmetics), there are simple solutions to know and adopt. Here they are.

Put them in the fridge

More and more refrigerator-friendly cosmetics are being sold on the market. So much so that many cosmetic brands have started marketing their own specialty refrigerators for beauty products. But who can stay there? Because even if we tend to think that the device is the best conservation tool and that it can also, in some cases, enhance the effectiveness of the active ingredients, some cosmetics may not like low temperatures. Which ones? We have prepared a short list for you …

Among the beauty products that withstand the cold very well are:

• Cleansing balms
• The lipsticks
• Moisturizers
• Eye contours
• The Parfums
• eye pencils

However, you should know that once stored, beauty products must remain fresh in order not to break the cold chain.

Among those who cannot find their account are:

• Cleansing oils
• Care oils
• Bronzers, blushes and other powder products
• mascara
• Shampoos and conditioners
• Exfoliants

Leave them dry … And in the shade

Solid or liquid cosmetics have been specially designed to keep good storage in the shade and in a dry place. But if you have a bathroom with lots of natural light, your creams, oils and other serums could be directly exposed to the heat and rays of the sun. Don’t want to put them in the fridge? Keep in mind that there are two other reliable solutions: either you put in a drawer so that they remain both in the shade and in the cool or you put in a cooler bag that you can put in a shady place in your home. The goal is to keep cosmetics at a constant temperature so that products with few preservatives remain stable.

Keep them at a constant temperature

If you are traveling to an area where the climate is slightly different than where you originally live, be aware that your cosmetics may not experience it as well as you do. The heat of certain places and humidity can be elements that will affect the stability of your formulas. To make sure your cream, SPF or eye contour is as pleasant to apply as before, the ideal would be to keep them in a dark place with a temperature between 12 ° C and 20 ° C maximum. When you use them remember to close them well so that they stay away from humidity.

You know everything !
