Is a Skincare Fridge Really Worth It?

This will be a short discussion on Skincare Fridges. Is it really worth it or no? It's become a very popular fad in the industry, however I do think it's just that a "fad". Many skincare products do not require refrigeration, it does not make no difference honestly to own one or not. It could be an added benefit for Active Ingredient Serums that oxidize quicker in the presence of light & air, refrigeration helps somewhat to keep ingredients from breaking down as quickly & preserving the shelf life. As well as Organic skincare products can expire at a faster rate sometimes due to the lack of preservatives in the formula.

Also, having your products "chilled" can have benefits for reducing inflammation & calming of your skin. Can remotely work well for sensitive skin types. Still, however not a necessary device that's needed & not the only thing available for those purposes. Bottom line, I do not feel that this will make or break your skincare regimen. It does not increase the product penetration, improves product performance or anything of the such. I wouldn't spend the extra money on this. Find the right regimen that works well for you though, a fridge is not one of them in my humble opinion. 😉

P.S. As for sheet masks, undereye patches and etc. I think they can add a cooling comfort/calming effect to skin (as mentioned previously). However, that would be pretty much the one perk out of it honestly.

Exosomes & Growth Factors: Regenerative Ingredients

Exosomes are nano-sized extracellular vesicles that have regenerative properties when it comes to skin including many "anti-aging" benefits. They may help with loss of firmness, lines/wrinkles, skin texture, reducing inflammation, hyperpigmentation, helps skin heal faster post-procedure, wound healing, and acne even as part of the multitude of benefits. They are considered the delivery system for the other active ingredients to assist with as part of their formulation. They are cell-communicating ingredients which in tells the other cells to "behave" and repair the skin & damaged cells more accordingly, to promote more collagen & elastin production. In essence, their genetic makeup is a mixture of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. They are able to transport growth factors, hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants to penetrate better into the skin. Whether being coupled with in an-office treatment such as in injectables, lasers, or micro...

Facial Oils: Are They Worth It?

Facial Oils seem to be a trendy step in a skincare routine as of lately. They are beneficial for someone who's of a more drier skin type. Some facial oils are filled with antioxidants, fatty acids and other nutrients. However, if you're acne-prone, I wouldn't recommend facial oils even if they're suggested as "non-comedogenic" since there is still no telling if you'll still develop clogged pores from which ever formula that may be. They're meant to coat, protect & lubricate the epidermis (outer most top layer of skin), it's meant to stay & hydrate on the skin's surface with also penetrating the top surface. Leaving it silky, smooth, & soft. There are also some problematic botanical oils that can cause a reaction, something to be cautious about. As well as stay away from essential oils! They are a main culprit to adding a sensitized barrier and a pretty significant amount to a possibility of a reaction (as in a rash, redness, et...

Not Being Able To Justify Highly-Priced Skincare

Unfortunately, I cannot justify spending over upwards to $200-$300+ on a skincare product, whether it being on a moisturizer, serum, essence, etc. granted, there are both good & bad formulated products on both ends of the spectrum. I just don't find it entirely necessary to do so. There are very well-formulated products that can meet a person's concerns/needs at your own budget & what you are willing to spend. Really an unnecessary amount to spend when certain brands with more affordable price points have incredible research & development teams when creating some of your favorite products. I thoroughly love & enjoy learning about the skincare science though. 🧑‍🔬✨️✍️ Yours truly always, Mr. Skin Care Guru
