“Using Skin Products from Refrigerator – Smart or Harmful?”

“Using Skin Products from Refrigerator – Smart or Harmful?”

⸻

Fridge mein rakhna safe hai?

Ya phir aap apni skincare ko thanda thanda kar ke uski asli power hi khatam kar rahe ho?

This is one question I often get from teens, college students, and even young working professionals:

“Sir, kya Vitamin C serum fridge mein rakhna chahiye?”

“Eye cream thandi ho to puffy eyes mein farak padta hai kya?”

Let’s break it down simply —

Kya sach mein fridge = better skin, ya yeh sirf trend ban gaya hai?

⸻

🧊 Why People Put Skincare in the Fridge

Because it feels:

• Cool and soothing on face

• Helps reduce puffiness

• Protects some ingredients from heat

• Instagram pe sab log yahi dikhate hain!

But truth is – not all products enjoy the cold.

Let’s sort this once and for all.

⚠️ Important Tips if You’re Using the Fridge

1. Use a separate skincare box or zip pouch

Don’t place near raw veggies or leftovers.

2. Don’t freeze

Fridge is okay, freezer is NOT.

3. Keep away from moisture

Water droplets can ruin open containers.

4. Take out, wait 2 minutes, then apply

So skin doesn’t get shocked by cold product suddenly.

👨‍⚕️ Dr. Rizwan’s Final Thoughts

Not everything needs to be cold to work.

Some products work best as they are — especially if they’re properly packed, sealed, and stored in a cool room.

But yes — if you live in places like Shahjahanpur where summer heat is harsh, fridge storage (for some items) is a smart trick.

Use fridge for the right products — not every shiny bottle.
