Most women have a collection of makeup and skin care products that they use every day. These are usually kept in the bathroom because that is generally where people get ready every morning, but many women also keep some products in a purse or even in the car. These might not be the best places to store beauty products. The temperature and humidity can cause damage to products and make them wear out faster than they should. Here are some tips on where you should store your beauty products instead.
Where to Store Your Makeup
You should keep your makeup well organized. You can put it in a set of stackable drawers so you will be able to easily find everything you need.
You should keep your foundation, liquid makeup, lipstick, and cream products stored in a cool, dark place. An interior closet that is not near an outside wall can be a good choice. If those products are exposed to sun or heat, they can dry out. The natural oils in the products can also separate, which can cause the makeup to spoil. This means leaving your makeup in the car on a hot summer day is not a good idea.
Powdery products, such as eye shadow, blush, powder, and bronzer, can be kept in any dry place. You should avoid keeping them in the bathroom because the humidity from the shower can cause them to become saturated and cakey. It is best to store powders in an exterior closet, rather than the bathroom. Keep them away from heat sources.
Where to Store Skin Care Products
Skin care products, such as eye gel or a face mask, should be stored in the refrigerator. If you use natural beauty products, they can also be kept in the refrigerator. Check the expiration dates. If you keep paraben-free products for too long, they can become toxic.
