The expiration date for cosmetics is approximately three years from the date of manufacture.
However, this only applies if the product is unopened and properly stored.
During the summer, we often hear people store lotions and other products in the refrigerator before using them.
There is a story that chilled lotion has the effect of tightening pores, but in fact, this is incorrect.
In fact, changes in temperature can cause the quality to deteriorate.
Sudden temperature changes can cause ingredients to crystallize and change their properties.
〇Conclusion: Putting cosmetics in the refrigerator will not extend their expiration date.
Are there any cosmetics that are recommended to be stored in the refrigerator?
Not all cosmetics can be stored in the refrigerator.Cosmetics containing vitamin C generally have a shorter expiration date than other cosmetics, and many of them have an expiration date clearly printed on the product.
This is because their ingredients change when exposed to temperature, air, light, etc.
If the product is labeled to be kept refrigerated, be sure to follow the instructions carefully.
Cosmetics sold on auction and flea market sites
Used cosmetics are sold on flea market sites, but we do not recommend purchasing them here, as the storage method and purchase date are unknown.
About cosmetics that you don't know when you bought them
All cosmetics have a lot number written on them, and you can use the lot number to check the production date. If you are really concerned, you can also contact the manufacturer.
Proper Storage
Prevent oxidation . Close the lid tightly as oxidation occurs when exposed to air.
Check the temperature . Do not store in hot or cold places. Store in a place with a constant room temperature.
Use it cleanly . When using cream or other jar-type products, do not use your fingers to take the product directly. Use a spatula. If there is any liquid on the opening of the container, wipe it off properly.
That said, some people may be concerned about whether it is safe to eat at room temperature in the middle of summer.
If you are concerned, we also recommend a refrigerator for cosmetics.
The temperature is set between 8℃ and 12℃, making it an excellent product that allows you to store your cosmetics in the optimal environment.
