"Watch out if you are one of those who stick your head in the fridge at this time of year."
Because no matter how much we like to apply fresh beauty products in the heat, not all of them react well to extreme cold.
So, fridge yes or fridge no? Well, as the great Pau Donés sang, IT DEPENDS.
What does it depend on? On different factors that we are going to explain to you today so that you become an expert in the subject.
Important note: "Even in those cases where the cold enhances the properties of our cosmetics, it is not necessary for you to spend money on one of those cosmetic coolers (unless you want to indulge yourself). The refrigerator in your kitchen serves exactly the same purpose."
That said, in general, conventional cosmetics are NOT prepared for the cold.
The best thing you can do is to keep your products in a cool place, in the shade, away from heaters or air conditioners, and at a temperature between 18 and 25 degrees.
"As with all rules, there are exceptions. Cacao and lip balms, eye creams, toners, body creams, and anti-cellulite products are perfectly compatible with the shelf of eggs and carrots."
Let's get on with it.
What happens with natural cosmetics and low temperatures? What Nasei products can you put in the fridge and which ones can't you?
Well, here things change. Since we don't use preservatives, most natural ingredients appreciate the coolness of the fridge to prevent them from spoiling.
But ONLY those that contain an aqueous part in their composition.
What are the products that YES you can store it in the fridge? In our case:
- The moisturizing cream of geranium, lavender, and rose
- The orange blossom and rockrose floral tonic
- The sweet almond and marjoram cleansing milk
- All our hydrosols
The coolness feels wonderful on these products. And not only that, because the decongestant effect is very beneficial for your skin, improving blood circulation, calming swelling, and causing an immediate feeling of well-being.
Special mention for sensitive or sunburned skin, they will especially appreciate it.
"Do you know those August days when you get home after a day at the beach, with your skin all red and burning? Well, a little bit of tonic straight out of the refrigerator is a miracle worker."
On the opposite side, on the team of refrigerator NOwe have the products with oil.
In Nasei these are:
- The botanical beauty oil of neroli and jasmine
- The nourishing oil of sweet almonds and apricot
- The detox oil of grapefruit and cedar.
- All serums
- The olive and eucalyptus cleansing balm
- The eye contour and the nourishing balm of mandarin and geranium
Do you keep olive oil in the fridge? Well, there you have the answer.
Upon coming into contact with the cold, the oils could crystallize and lose their properties.
Another product you should never store in the cold is foundation, because you run the risk of it being affected by humidity.
"Here’s what you MUST do if you put your beauty products in the fridge:" leave it there until finishing it.
If you don't do it, you will be breaking the cold chain and the temperature fluctuation will affect the formula, which could prevent your skin from receiving its benefits.
Burn it into your mind.
