The way beauty products are stored at home can affect their effectiveness. Away from heat sources, high-quality formulas in airtight pumps or tubes can remain effective for years. But all products become vulnerable to air, temperature and bacteria immediately after opening the package.

“Jared formulas are particularly vulnerable to environmental factors and are prone to the accumulation of bacteria that can irritate or infect the skin. This is the reason Dermalogica products are never packaged in jars.” – says Dr. Diane Howard, Vice President of Dermalogica and the International Dermatological Institute (IDI) for research and development.

Beauty tips for storing home care products:

Do not store powdered exfoliants in the shower . Water entering the container of such exfoliants can cause the granules to stick together and activate the ingredients too soon, reducing its effectiveness on the skin.

Products with SPF should be kept in the shade
Exposure to high temperatures can shorten the life of products and weaken the effectiveness of active ingredients such as sunscreens in sunscreens.

Don’t keep lip care products in the car
High temperatures in cars affect the formulas of all products, but they can be truly detrimental to lip products. Once melted, the product should no longer be used, even if it has been cooled and solidified.

Keep food away from windowsill
Store food in cool, dark places to keep ingredients intact. So, the refrigerator compartment is perfect for toners and masks, adding a refreshing and cooling effect to them.
