"I wanted to get a small fridge for skincare products, and this is the best-looking one around. It's cool that it can be used as a warmer or a fridge. I haven't tried the heated part yet, but I switched it on and saw that it works. The front of the fridge is mirrored and has a dimmable light. It makes the fridge much less of an eyesore." —Arri

What are the benefits of refrigerating skincare products?
. "If you store your products in the bathroom, they are susceptible to damage from shower steam," explains Akram. The idea is that some products can last longer when kept in the fridge, much like your food.
There's also the added benefit of some products feeling better when they're kept cold. "Applying chilled products helps with puffiness and swelling, soothes inflammation, and provides a firming effect on the skin," she adds.
What skincare products should (or shouldn't) be refrigerated?
. "Depending on product formulation and how it is packaged, most toners, mists, serums, eye creams, and face masks (including sheet masks) are the most suitable products to be kept in a skincare fridge," Akram notes.
Some products shouldn't be stored in the fridge, however, as to not alter the texture. "Keep in mind most cream-based products with more dense formulations including serums, moisturizers and masks should not be chilled. This makes it more difficult to apply the product onto the skin. Oil-based products are also not suitable for the fridge as they can also harden," the esthetician adds.
