It’s time to talk about refrigerators, but not the one in your kitchen.

However, skincare fridges are becoming increasingly popular online.

These fridges are small and compact and perfect for a bedroom, and they keep your products nicely cool.

Are they necessary, though?

Is it worth it?

In short, the answer may be no.

Gross explained that beauty products are meant to be at room temperature.

However, the real answer may be more complicated than this.

The coolness isn’t going to make the products work any better, after all.

However, some speciality creams and products prescribed by dermatologists do require refrigeration.

Gross noted that storing these types of products in the fridge is “paramount” (viaElle).

Ultimately, then, getting a skincare fridge seems to depend on the kinds of products you have.

As the beauty industry transitions to more organic, sustainable products, a skincare fridge may become a necessity.
