What is the best way to keep cosmetics fresh?

If they are still sealed from the factory, all you have to do is keep them in a cool dark place.,Try finding a drawer that's on the North side of your house away from sunlight. Put them in separate zip lock bags so their unique scents wont mingle. They will be fine!What is the best way to keep cosmetics fresh?

Aditi, you are great! Of course, not.


I think they refer to creams, body lotions, makeup, lipsticks, ecc.


You are right; they should have do an ecception. And say, also that all sunscreen products are getting ';old'; just some months after opening the bottle. Report Abuse

That is to say, never use last year's sunscreen products! Report Abuse

whenever i'm running late, i put my cosmetics on in the car. Once when I went to the stable, my cosmetics were toast! they were all lumpy and disgusting! so i learned to put my cosmetics in my cooler so they weren't fried. they dont have to be in a fridge, just somewhere cool Report Abuse

I keep nailpolish, foundations, sunscreen and aloe both feel good in cold in hot weather, and most of my face products in the mini fridge. The nailpolish doesn't become lumpy and thick as fast, the foundation is the same way. Report Abuse

Store them in your refrigerator. Report Abuse

Yep, In a warmer climate the frig is better. But in cooler climates just a dark out of the way corner is best. The problem with the frig. is condensation build up on the outside of some cosmetics. Check them often to see if you get this and take them out if they do. Report Abuse
