What is a beauty fridge?

A beauty fridge is essentially a mini-fridge that's dedicated to storing all of your skincare products, such as moisturisersand eye creams. They tend to be slightly smaller than a mini-fridge, usually with specific spaces to hold all of your products. Beauty fridges are also great for holding your beauty tools, particularly as the cool temperatures can help boost their de-puffing effects on the skin, increase blood circulation and promote lymphatic drainage. 

What tools should you store in your beauty fridge?

From revitalising facial steamers to the ancient art of jade rolling, there are many tools you should keep in your beauty fridge to leave you with glowing skin and maximum results.

1. Jade Roller and Gua Sha

Popularised on TikTok, these enchanting skincare tools have actually been cherished for centuries.

The Jade Roller is a handheld tool with a smooth, jade stone that gently glides over your skin, whilst the Gua Sha is a more sculpted tool designed to be used for lymphatic drainage, a technique for flushing out toxins and revealing vibrant skin. Both tools are used to reduce puffiness and inflammation, improving blood circulation for a more nourished complexion. Enhance your skincare routine by adding these tools to your beauty fridge for a soothing, pampered feel. You should also use these tools after applying serums and moisturisers for deeper product absorption.
