Everyone has heard about the viral skincare fridge trend. I’m sharing why this skincare product is seriously overhyped.
Over the past couple of years, the skincare fridge has become all the hype for its aesthetic Instagram appeal along with its ability to chill skincare products. If you’re a skincare fanatic like me, you’re probably wondering if you need this product by your sink.
I’m sharing 3 reasons why you don’t need a skincare fridge in your collection and what you should do instead with your skincare products.
Whether you’re a skincare pro or beginner, this post about the skincare fridge is a must-read for everyone.
Why You Don’t Need A Skincare Fridge:
1. They’re Overpriced
After searching websites like Amazon and Target, I’ve found that the cheapest skincare cooler is $40. That is outrageously expensive(in my opinion) for a teensy tiny fridge that you don’t need.
You’re better off spending your hard earned dough on good quality skincare products(check out my recommendations page if you want to see my favorites). 🙂

2. You Don’t Need To Cool Your Skincare Products
That’s right. Nowadays, skincare products are tested for stability while they’re in different temperature rooms so anyone can use them! Skincare has definitely advanced over the years, and companies are bringing out products that can withstand a wide range of temperatures.
Honestly, it’s best to keep your skincare products at room temperature 🙂
If you do want to cool a sheet mask or even skin tools, you can just use your regular refrigerator to chill them.
3. They Can Actually Damage Your Skincare Products
And the biggest reason of all: storing your products in a skincare fridge can actually decrease their efficacy. Unstable temperatures/constant temperature changes can decrease their stability and therefore, they aren’t as effective.

The only circumstance where you should probably refrigerate a product is if it is sold in a refrigerator at the store, or it’s a prescription item(which in both cases you can use your regular fridge).
However…
I do understand the appeal of these products: they’re cute and make for a great Insta photo.
Soooo, if you’re in the situation where you want a skincare fridge for your tools, masks and/or prescription products, then below are my recommendations to get the best bang for your buck.
1. AstroAI Mini Fridge
This fridge has over 26,000 glowing reviews on Amazon and it’s the perfect size to store your beauty essentials. From face masks to jade rollers, this fridge provides serious chilling effects for all your skincare products.
2. Cooluli Skincare Mini FridgeÂ
First of all, I LOVE this baby pink color. This product is Amazon recommended and I can see why: with two shelves and a side door compartment, there’s tons of room in this “mini” fridge for your beauty products!
