Off and on, your lipsticks have been lying static next to those surly gherkins in the jar in the refrigerator. Your mini nail paints have sometimes visited the sausage drawer in the machine. Now comes the cool solution: the beauty fridge. Touted as the edgiest must-have for every skincare devotee, it is cruising its way up the beauty and skin health sweepstakes this season.
It comes in pastel colours and sorbet hues. Says Dr. Rinky Kapoor, consultant dermatologist and dermato-surgeon, The Esthetic Clinics, “The beauty fridge maintains the consistency of skincare products, lending better longevity to the formulations. In India, with the tropical climate, there is always the risk of product spoilage owing to bacteria, yeast, and mould. When you are using dermatologically recommended preparations, with active ingredients, storing them in a separate, sterile environment increases its shelf life.”
