Five years ago, the words "mini fridge" might have conjured images of dirty dorm rooms, dark basements, or a Tinder date's weird kitchen. But, as beauty lovers do best, we gave the mini fridge a makeover. Tiny refrigerators still make us think of six-packs — but now, it's a six-pack of sheet masks.
Skin-care devotees started noticing the the benefits of keeping products cool (more on that below). But since this community is nothing if not extra, we didn't want to stick a beloved moisturizer next to the cookie dough. Instead, skin-care fans are opting for a dedicated skin-care fridge (or #beautyfridge, as Instagram has dubbed the trend.) A fridge typically takes up about one square foot of desk (or vanity or bathroom or under-the-bed) space and will run between $50 and $150.
The whole setup is very photogenic and, if you follow beauty bloggers or even Allure editor-in-chief Michelle Lee, you'll notice how cute they look on Instagram. Plus, very importantly for those of us who have a lot of skin-care products, they also offer a whole new beauty storage space. But what does a skin-care fridge actually do for your routine?
"Generally, but not always, refrigerating products will help extend their shelf life," Joshua Zeichner, the director of cosmetic and clinical research at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, previously told Allure. "Moreover, the cooling sensation on the skin from applying a refrigerated product may help calm itch and give a more soothing effect than a room-temperature product. This is likely because the cool temperature may calm over-firing nerves that lead to itch and discomfort in the skin."
Elizabeth Tanzi, founder and director of Capital Laser & Skin Care, previously pointed out to Allure that most products won't alter too much in the cold. For Tanzi, the only step of your skin-care routine worth refrigerating is any under-eye cream. "The fact that it's cold helps to vasoconstrict and may help with puffiness," Tanzi explains. "Otherwise, I don't think there is much difference between room-temperature and cold products."
