The correct way to store beauty products

To keep your coveted beauty products working their best for longer, try these beauty storing tips.

Face wash – It may be convenient, but storing your scrubs and cleansers in the shower can damage them. The product will take in moisture which can turn them into a breeding ground for bacteria or mould.

Skin creams – Skin creams should be kept out of the bathroom altogether. The humidity can damage them just as the shower damages your cleansers. Keep them in your bedroom away from the window.

Fragrances – Fragrances should always be stored away from direct sunlight, as heat and sunshine can cause them to go off.

Nail Polish – Storing your nail polish upright in the fridge can help keep your lacquers lasting to their fullest potential.

Powder make up – Try to keep your blushes and powders out of the bathroom as the change in humidity and temperature can negatively affect their make up.

Brushes – Store your make up brushes out of direct sunlight, as sunlight can cause their fibres to wear. The same goes for heat and humidity, which can cause them to become caked. Try rolling them up in a make up brush bag.

Lipstick – Store your lipsticks in the fridge with your nail polishes to help them last longer.
