What Are Face Mists for and How to Store Them Properly?

Now that we know what face mists are for, we can discuss their storage: As with all beauty care products, a botanical face mist is often stored in a cupboard, on a high shelf or on the edge of the bathroom sink. However, the variations in temperature and humidity observed in this room do not guarantee that the product will keep well. In fact, heat, and humidity can alter the product's properties, causing it to lose its effectiveness. Whether toning or antioxidant, mists are highly sensitive to high temperatures. They should therefore be stored in a dry place, at a temperature below 25 °C, away from heat, humidity, and light. This will optimize their effectiveness and preserve their properties. Furthermore, the mist packaging has been redesigned to guarantee optimal product preservation. Indeed, the mists are packaged in amber bottles to protect them from the sun.

However, during the warmer months, cool storage at a constant temperature is recommended. When the mist is stored in a cool place, refrigeration ensures better preservation of its active ingredients. Chilling can be useful for decongestant or calming effects. What's more, when stored in the fridge, their cooling effect is enhanced tenfold. The mist thus provides a little extra freshness with each misting. Although its formula is suitable for storage at room temperature, cold storage extends its shelf life, which is why we recommend refrigerated storage. Before placing your mist in the fridge, remember that once it's there, it's best to keep it there. Avoid cutting the cold chain. Numerous trips back and forth can lead to premature deterioration of the formula. It is therefore advisable to systematically store your care product after each use. The secret of a long-lasting mist is to avoid temperature variations, and the refrigerator is an ideal alternative to the bathroom.
