Storing skincare in a steamy bathroom?

I'd say as long as everything is tightly capped it shouldn't be an issue. My bathroom is small and can get steamy and I've never had an issue. Exposing makeup and skincare to direct sunlight is bad for both though.

I store the items I am currently using in bath on vanity, but not the rest of my stash.

Thanks to you both. It would be easier to store my 2 moisturizers in the bathroom. I alternate Paula's Choice Resist Barrier Repair and the 5% AHA lotion. I always wash my hands after applying because I don't want the ingredients on my hands.

On my "lazy nights" I use CeraVe's body lotion, which I keep on my nightstand. I don't have an issue not washing my hands afterward with that one and it's fine for my face. But I've been having too many "lazy nights" lately and keeping my skincare in the bathroom would make it easier regarding nighttime routine.

I don't think it's a problem, but we do either open the window or turn on the fan when we shower/bathe. Still, I just never thought twice about it. I want my items where they are handy for me.

I keep my unopened bottles in the basement. It's cool and dark down there.

Same here -- current stuff stays in the bathroom; otherwise, the "stash" stays in the linen closet.

Thanks everyone! I should have said keeping instead of storing. Unopened bottles are stored in a cool, dry place. I don't keep too much of a skincare stash anymore.
