Why store cosmetics in mini refrigerators
Any cream, whey, mask and even decorative cosmetics have recommended storage conditions. The shelf life of natural products made by own hands is very small. In addition, they require a special temperature regime.
- Vitaminized products should be stored at + 5-8 degrees.
- For creams suitable + 8-10 degrees.
- A mark of +12 is maintained by means containing elastin and collagen.
Some ladies store perishable creams in a conventional household refrigerator. But the temperature in the chamber is much lower than recommended by the manufacturer, especially cosmetics contact with food. It is unlikely you will like to apply a cream with the smell of sausage.
There is a better way out. You can store cosmetics and perfumes in special devices, where optimal conditions are maintained. Such units can be built in or hung on a wall.
Features of mini-models
What are the advantages of such devices:
- Cooling method. In conventional refrigerators, a compression method is used where the refrigerant is used. A thermoelectric method is used in a com- metric refrigerator. And the amount of energy consumed is comparable to a conventional bulb - 30-50 watts.
- The capacity of the department can be chosen in accordance with the wishes - from 5 to 13 liters.
- It is possible to adjust the temperature from 8 to 12 degrees. Air flows are evenly distributed through ventilation.
- Method of placement. It can be a built-in stationary refrigerator or a stand-alone refrigerator. Also, there are portable options that are launched using an automobile engine.
- Bright design. Unusual models become an object of decor, a highlight of the interior.
- The inner walls of the chamber are covered with antibacterial composition. Individual brands have branches without cooling to store trifles. Inside, you can also put medicines.
Features of cosmetics storage
It is necessary to observe the rules and create suitable conditions not only at home, but also during transportation. If you choose a portable unit, pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions. Perhaps, the products can be transported in frozen form. Then it is better to buy a portable freezer.
When installing a mini-refrigerator in the cabin, properly place the products on the shelves. It is necessary to consider the shelf life: products with a longer stand on the back wall, the rest are closer to the door. Any person will take a bottle that will stand closer to him.
The rules of care of the device are exactly the same as for an ordinary refrigerator. At least once a year, he needs to turn off, defrost and wash. To do this, you need to turn off the equipment for a day, get hold of the shelves and wash the walls with soapy water. To eliminate unpleasant odors in the water can add lemon juice.
What can not be stored in the refrigerator compartment
Not all cosmetics need to be placed in such a refrigerator. They can deteriorate from improper storage.

- Ink. Requires the same conditions as lipstick.
The exception is podvodka, which experienced users recommend placing in the cold before use.
- Powder, shadows, blush. Dissipated products are stored at room temperature. They do not contain perishable components, so there is no sense in putting them in the refrigerator.
- Perfumery. Some people think that placing the perfume in a cool place helps maintain persistence. Why then in boutiques and shops they do not cost in refrigerators? It's nothing more than a myth.
- Lucky. From low temperature values they can exfoliate, condensation forms inside, which leads to spoilage of the product.
- Foundation. When applied to warm skin, the tonal base melts and falls evenly. In the chamber the agent will thicken and will not create the proper effect.
- Oils and products with oily base.
