You’ll quickly notice that shelfies — that’s photos of perfectly organized shelves — are now commonplace on social media. The way they look on Instagram has gained them a lot of popularity for their chic aesthetic. However, these photos aren’t just pretty. They’re also a great source of inspiration for organizing everything from clothes to books and even skin care products. If you’re not sure how to organize skin care products, we have plenty of ideas to help you make the most of whatever space you have. Our skin care organization tips will help you organize everything from your moisturizer to your masks whether you keep them in the medicine cabinet, linen closet, or anywhere else. In no time at all, you’ll be taking your own skin care product shelfie!
ORGANIZE SKIN CARE PRODUCTS IN YOUR MEDICINE CABINET
It is already well on its way to creating an amazing skin care shelfie if your bathroom has a medicine cabinet that doesn’t need to store much medicine. The bathroom shelves are the perfect place to tuck away products, especially if you tend to do your makeup there. We’ve broken down how to organize your products below, shelf by shelf.
STEP #1: ORGANIZE YOUR TOP SHELF
In most medicine cabinets and closets, the top shelf is a little difficult to reach. Therefore, place the products you use least frequently there on the top shelf.
You don’t need to worry about the order of the items on this shelf because you won’t necessarily layer them all together at once. Try arranging your products by brand instead-they will look more attractive that way
STEP #2: ORGANIZE YOUR MIDDLE SHELF
All the products that you use on a regular basis, but not every day, should be stored on this shelf. Examples include face masks. It doesn’t matter how you organize these skin care products on this shelf since you won’t use them every day. ROYGBIV is the most logical way to organize these products.
STEP #3: ORGANIZE YOUR BOTTOM SHELF
In terms of your everyday skin care routine, we’ve finally reached the shelf that matters most. Cleansers and moisturizers, for example, are products you should always be using, so a shelf that’s well-organized so everything is stacked from left to right can be extremely helpful. There is a possibility that you use more than one facial moisturizer or cleanser. Organizing products based on their functions is the easiest and most convenient method for us. As a result, whenever you need a cleanser, you can easily reach for the cluster of facial cleansers and select the one you want rather than looking all over the place for a specific one. Regardless of whether you follow our organization tips, here are the skin care products that you need along with product recommendations for each.
OTHER WAYS TO ORGANIZE SKIN CARE PRODUCTS
Your medicine cabinet isn’t available, or you simply prefer to take care of your skin at your vanity. Organize your products no matter what you’re working with and keep them photogenic. Try one of the following options:
USE A CLEAR ORGANIZER
Do you ever see people sorting their makeup products into those clear desktop organizers? They are perfect for organizing skin care products as well! They are well-designed with sections of varying sizes to accommodate your must-haves, as well as application tools such as cotton swabs and pads.
USE DRAWER ORGANIZERS
Your products are only able to be stored in a single drawer. That’s fine with us! You’ll want to make sure you use drawer organizers or dividers to keep your skin care drawer from becoming a junk drawer. Divide your products into different drawer compartments or containers according to their type.
REPURPOSE CANDLE JARS
Candle jars are perfect for tall products (such as lip balm or eye cream)! As long as they’re cleaned out, they look super chic. Put your products in after scraping off that last bit of wax!
FILL VASES
Vases will be the perfect storage container for brushes and other skincare tools. Fill it with coffee beans (or marbles) to keep everything upright. Pick one that’s short and wide.
