You’d better keep these products in the fridge

Vitamin-rich creams and serumsIn

Vitamins are important antioxidants for our skin and can help reduce redness, swelling and irritation. Vitamin C and vitamin E, for example, are contained in many serums and tinctures for external use on the skin and may encourage cell regeneration. However, some vitamins do not respond particularly well to temperature changes, UV rays, or heat. For example, vitamin C oxidizes in emulsion with water and then becomes sensitive to heat. On the other hand, Vitamin E is heat-stable up to 200 °C, but does not tolerate UV light well. That’s why it is better to store your expensive serum in the fridge.

natural cosmetics

We regularly use natural cosmetics. Natural creams contain no artificial additives and are free of allergens or skin irritants. But where commercial cosmetics rely on preservatives that make creams last as long as possible, natural cosmetic products need some help. Natural creams keep longer in the fridge. The bacteria that inevitably get into the pan with your fingers grow rapidly in the warm, moist temperatures in our bathrooms. Natural cosmetics don’t stand a chance in such a climate. It is better to keep small tubes, jars and pots in the fridge.

fruit acid peeling

Peeling with small plastic balls has been around for a long time. They harm the skin and also pollute the sea and environment. The new generation of peelings therefore relies on chemical skin cleansing. AHA and BHA peels use fruit acids to remove layers of dead skin, preventing pimples, inflammation, and milia. However, our skin sometimes reacts to such chemical peels with temporary redness and irritation. Now a cooling mask helps. But why start cooling only after the treatment when you can already enjoy the beneficial cooling effect during peeling? Fruit acid peels should be stored in a cool place so that they are at a low temperature for use.
