How to Protect Your Skincare from Heat Damage This Summer

How to Protect Your Skincare from Heat Damage This Summer

☀️ Heat Isn’t Just Hard on Makeup — It Can Destroy Skincare Too

Most people think of melted lipstick when they picture summer beauty fails.
But what they don’t realize is that heat can completely break down skincare formulas — making them less effective (or worse, harmful to your skin).

If you’re storing your skincare in a regular makeup pouch, your beach tote, or your car right now… here’s what you need to know.

 


🔬 1. Heat Can Break Down Active Ingredients

Ingredients like:

  • Vitamin C

  • Retinol

  • Niacinamide

  • Peptides

  • SPF

...can degrade when exposed to high temps. That means you’re applying something that looks the same, but doesn’t do its job — or irritates your skin.

 


🚗 2. Leaving Products in Hot Cars or Suitcases? Risky.

A summer suitcase or glove compartment can hit over 120°F.
That environment destroys products way faster than you think — especially serums and moisturizers in glass bottles or pumps.

 


👜 3. The Fix: Use an Insulated Storage Solution

A heat-resistant cosmetic bag lined with insulation helps:

  • Keep your skincare cooler, longer

  • Reflect heat instead of absorbing it

  • Prevent bottle warping, cracking, or leaking

  • Maintain formula integrity (aka: your skincare still works)

This is where our Karsan Co insulated makeup bags come in. Designed for beauty lovers who want protection andstyle.

 


🧳 4. Best Products to Store Inside

Your insulated bag is perfect for:

  • Vitamin C or brightening serums

  • Moisturizers with SPF

  • Retinol or night treatments

  • Mini face mists

  • Eye creams

  • Lip balms with active ingredients

Pro tip: use one side for skincare, the other for makeup 💡

 


💼 The Karsan Difference

Our bags:

  • Come in two sizes (Small + Medium)

  • Have reflective thermal lining

  • Are wipeable, neutral, and aesthetic

  • Were created by someone who gets it (aka me 👋)

If you want your beauty routine to actually work all summer long — protect it.
