Labor Day is
here and, while we may be nearing
the end of summer, that doesn’t mean it’s going to get any cooler. In fact, just
to get a little hotter under your collar, summer heat often persists well into
the fall.
It’s
important to be creative with our stay-cool solutions, so with temperatures and
humidity levels still soaring, what’s a gal to do?! Take it to the fridge of
course… and grab your favorite beauty products for relief.
The below
offerings highlight our favorite products that prove even more effective (or
just provide a much-needed break from the heat!) when stored in the fridge and
applied cold.
1. Meaningful
Beauty® Advanced Formula Lifting Eye Crème
According to
dermatologists, storing eye cream in the fridge can maximize its power to
deflate puffy morning eyes because the cold constricts blood vessels.
Try it with this Lifting Eye Crème, designed to reduce puffiness, dark
circles and fine lines. Rich in antioxidants and carefully selected botanicals,
the formula helps revitalize the skin and smooth wrinkles while refreshing and
brightening, leaving tired-looking eyes feeling tightened and lifted. Key
ingredients include the Exclusive Microencapsulated Melon Complex (superoxide
dismutase), Ceramide, Grape Seed Extract & Hyaluronic Acid.
