How to properly store a facial mist?

As with all beauty treatments, botanical mists are often stored in a cupboard, on a high shelf, or on the edge of the bathroom sink. However, the thermal and humidity variations observed in this room do not guarantee good preservation of the product. Indeed, heat and humidity can alter it, and it may thus lose its effectiveness. Whether they are toning or antioxidant, mists are very sensitive to high temperatures. Therefore, they must be stored in a dry location, at a temperature below 25°C, away from heat, humidity, and light. This will optimise their effectiveness and also preserve their properties. Moreover, the packaging of the mist has been transformed to ensure optimal preservation of the product. Indeed, mists are packaged in amber bottles to protect them from the sun.

However, during the warm months, it is recommended to store in a cool place at a constant temperature. When the mist is stored in a cool place, refrigeration allows for better preservation of its active ingredients. Cooling can be beneficial for a decongesting or calming effect. Moreover, when they are refrigerated, their refreshing effect is greatly enhanced. The mist thus provides a little more freshness with each spray. Even though its formula is adapted for storage at room temperature, the cold helps to extend its lifespan, hence the recommendation for fridge storage. Before placing your mist in the refrigerator, it should be noted that once it is there, it is preferable for it to stay there. Avoid breaking the cold chain. Indeed, frequent in-and-out movements can lead to premature degradation of the formula. It is therefore advised to always put your skincare product back after each use. The secret to a long-lasting mist is to avoid temperature fluctuations and the refrigerator presents itself as an ideal alternative to the bathroom.
