Storing expensive cosmetics in bathrooms can diminish their effectiveness, according to John Horner from 34 St John. Bathrooms' humidity and temperature fluctuations compromise products, especially sunscreen, which can become ineffective against UV rays. Perfumes also suffer, as their compounds break down, altering their scent. Horner advises keeping these items in cooler, drier places like bedrooms to prolong their shelf life. He emphasizes checking products for changes in color or smell to determine their viability, regardless of expiration dates.
Many people don't realise their bathroom is actually one of the worst places to store their expensive cosmetics.
Sunscreen molecules can become unstable when repeatedly exposed to heat and moisture cycles.
Perfume bottles might look attractive on bathroom shelves, but the fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels cause the fragrance compounds to break down much faster.
Store your fragrances in a cool, dark place like a bedroom drawer instead.
