Every day, we spend about 30 minutes in the bathroom. But just because we use a lot of personal care products to look and feel our best doesn’t mean they should be kept in the bathroom. Many of them, in fact, do not belong there, and some can even harm our health and appearance if kept in a moist and hot environment.\n

Bar soap\n

Keeping your soap near the direct stream of your shower can shorten its shelf life. Water will break your bar soap down, and the residue will build up in your bath. The best way to store your soap is to keep it on a soap dish with holes that let it dry, outside of the shower.\n

Makeup brushes\n

It\u2019s important to clean your brushes regularly and to properly dry them afterward to avoid bacterial growth. But once you\u2019re done washing your brushes, it\u2019s better to store them in a dry place, standing brush-side up in a cup. Warm and humid air in the bathroom encourages mold and bacteria to spread on them. And just like your toothbrush, they will pick up germs that you will later apply right to your skin.\n

\n

Perfume\n

Storing your fragrances in a bathroom can destroy their molecular structure and cause them to sour. To keep your favorite perfume fresh for longer, look for a closet or cupboard outside of the bathroom to store it in.\n

\"9\n

Towels\n

Keeping your used, damp towels in the bathroom can be a recipe for grossness. Warmth and humidity make bathrooms the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, and towels will pick up germs that we\u2019ll later transfer to our skin. Ideally, you should wash your towels after 3 uses and allow them to dry completely before they are used again.\n

\"9\n

Razors\n

Shower steam and the build-up of humidity can rust the blades which, in turn, can damage your skin. Even if you properly clean and dry it off after using it, storing it in a humid bathroom environment will shorten the lifespan of your razor.\n

\"9\n

Face creams\n

When your skin cream isn\u2019t tightly closed or sealed, the damp air in the bathroom can encourage irritation or acne-causing bacteria to grow. And every time you take a hot shower, the heat can cause the ingredients to separate. The perfect place to store your skincare\n

products is a dry drawer outside the bathroom or the fridge.\n

\"9\n

\u00a0Your bathrobe\n

Much like bath towels, damp robes could harbor germs and bacteria, and humidity can give them an unpleasant smell. If you are putting on a damp bathrobe right after showering, you can consider your shower pretty much pointless. Instead of keeping your bathrobe on a hook in your bathroom, hang it in a place where it can air dry.\n

\"9\n

Toothbrushes\n\n
\n
\n

When you flush the toilet with the lid up, germs can spread up to 15 feet, and bacteria will most likely get sprayed all over your toothbrush. Dentists recommend keeping your toothbrush as far away as possible from the toilet, in a place where it can dry completely.\n

\"9\n

Your phone\n

It\u2019s not the best idea to use your phone while on the toilet, and taking your phone into the bathroom isn\u2019t safe either. Scrolling through your feed while soaking in the tub may be dangerous, and if you need your tunes while you shower, it\u2019s worth investing in a waterproof speaker.\n
