It might be more accurate to call these portable coolers rather than mini fridges. They are definitely not as powerful as real, full-sized fridges, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Instead of making things super cold, makeup fridges keep the temperature down to around 15 degrees Celsius below room temperature. When it comes to skin care, this is actually great. Beauty products are not meant to go through extreme temperature changes. Much like food, skincare products will go bad if they are allowed to get super cold and then warm again. However, the temperature in the mini fridge will make your products cool, rather than extremely cold or frozen. Even if you forget them outside the fridge overnight, you won’t have to worry about the preservative system being compromised or the structure of your product changing. The other benefit is to the skin. A cool product will definitely help soothe and refresh the skin, but applying an extremely cold product can actually slightly shock the skin and will definitely make for an uncomfortable experience. It can sometimes be difficult to control the temperature with a regular fridge, but the beauty fridges bring the products down to a temperature that is comfortable and pleasant. The final benefit is that the electricity consumption of these mini fridges is fairly negligible. They consume less electricity than the average light bulb, so you don’t need to feel too guilty about their environmental footprint or their impact on your electric bill.
