Extra tips for summer and travel
When you go on vacation, think about your skincare:
-
Use a mini cooler bag or a cooling makeup kit.
-
Carry them in your handbag, not in a hot suitcase.
-
Choose an eye cream with an applicator that will refresh you while you travel.
Should skin care products be frozen?
Short: not!
Freezing destroys emulsions and is harmful to the active ingredients. Stick to the refrigerator or special mini skin care coolers.
