How to store skincare in the bathroom

10 replies

Chocomelon · 13/03/2022 21:58

I keep a few essentials in the bathroom but keep it to a minimum as we don't have a cabinet do they just sit on a shelf and I worth about the hygiene of this (toilet flushed with lid up etc - DH).

I'm now finding I want to put a bit more effort into my skincare regimen and want to keep a few more products in the bathroom rather than applying in the bedroom or missing out altogether.

Any tips? Am I overthinking?

A cabinet is an option but not ideal as we don't really have the space or I was thinking of keeping them in a make up bag or Bain it case in the bathroom but then that would need to be washable too.

Following this if you don't mind, this is exactly my dilemma too.

Sorry for the typos!

You shouldn't store skin care or make up in the bathroom as the humidity will make it go off quicker. Especially make up.

Do you have any space for a small standing cabinet? I think you can easily find some very slim ones (30'-10'-10' type).
If it doesn't fit, do you have any space on the windowsill for a box? If you go for a plastic box with lid you could just wash it every now and then.

As pp said, you really shouldn’t store it in there anyway.

I keep my skincare products in a basket in my bedroom which I bring into the bathroom as needed.

When I used to do all skincare in the bathroom I kept everything in a large makeup/wash bag. It fit all the bottles etc upright. The bag stayed in my bedroom except when I was doing my face.

I don’t store skincare in the bathroom as @BusterGonad says due to humidity. Only things I do store there are face washes, scrubs and masks.

No intention of storing make up in the bathroom.

I don't think my skincare would go off tbh. It hasn't so far. The windows are always open so it's fairly cool. It's Lord just the hygiene of toilet etc.

I don't really have space for a standing cabinet as we have a bin and nappy bin, possibly space for a little make up bag or box on the window cill or shelf (which is what I'm considering)

I have been keeping most bits in the bedroom but I have a young baby in there with me at the moment and I'm usually doing my skincare after they're in bed.

A small basket or something could work though. I used to do that with bath products in our old house to keep the bathroom tidy.

My skin care stuff is in. The bedroom never stored it in the bathroom.
