Anyway, most of the time the spring in Hong Kong is humid and suffocating. You’ll miss the coolness in winter. Since you can’t get a relief outdoor, let’s enjoy a soothing facial from refrigerated skincare. Keep your skincare in fridge and lengthen their freshness.
Some of you may not have a clear idea what skincare to fridge and how to do it. Here is my way to do it for your reference:
What can be stored cold?
Hydrating masks in sheets are the best choice! Moisturizing goodies like serum, toner, eye gel and eye mask are ideal to fridge as well. These products are rich in water content and the skincare effects can be maximized after refrigerating. Your pores get less visible with a soothing cool of skincare.
Extra note: What NOT to be stored cool? Products for cleansing are not to be kept in fridge. Cleansing milk, purifying mask and skincare with alcohol are the examples.
How to store skincare cold?
Although the cooling sensation is AMAZING, don’t “overcool” your masks or skincare. Or else your skin will be irritated. Never put your skincare in the freezer. This hardens the skincare texture and lessens effectiveness.
So, it’s good enough to store skincare in a fridge at a temperature around 10 degrees Celsius.

Somang
Nutri-100 Hyaluronic Acid Essential Cotton Mask
A hydrating mask 100% cotton-made. High concentration of moisturizing factors and Hyaluronic Acid keep your skin balanced in oil. Apply it cold and your pores will look much smaller.
COSLINE
Aloe Essence Mask Sheet Pack
Moisturising masks are great to be kept cool. And one with aloe vera is even better.
Masks from COSLINE are cheap and in lovely size. The size of the mask sheet is wide enough to please women with a rather large face.
Soin d'eau
Bagnoles de L'Orne Spring Water
If there is a fridge in your office, don’t waste it. Put a toner or Spring Water from Soin d’eau in the fridge. Soothe your skin at work.
My skin tends to get oily and reddish after lunch. A cool spring water spray is a blessing then. Just spray some water and enjoy a simple cleansing step. Do coat with a light amount of day cream or sunscreen afterwards. Your skin feels much more stable.
I love putting my water spray on the fridge. I never tried that for masks. I'll do that this summer i think
