Clean Beauty Tools for a Prettier You
A typical woman loves makeup! Some couldn’t even manage going out without wearing it. As much as it makes your face incredibly awesome, it can also harm your skin if not thoroughly taken off at the end of the day. You may not know but it is very important to cleanse your face to wash away make-up and other impurities.
But did you know that it doesn’t stop there? It is equally important to clean your beauty tools. Without regular cleaning, sponges and other brushes are prone to bacteria build-up. If this happens, your skin will definitely suffer.
- Sponge: it is the most prone to bacteria and dirt among all beauty tools since it has an adhesive power to the foundation and other make-up. As much as possible, prefer disposable ones. If not, then you should clean them on a regular basis. Look for antibacterial dish detergent or soap for cleaning. The soap has alkali that can kill the kind of bacteria that may be present on your sponges. In addition, make sure to dry it before using. Let it dry by the wind and not by exposing it to the direct sunlight.
- Eyelash Curler: the silicon pad in this beauty tool gets stained by mascara and eyeshadow with every use. It is therefore recommended to cleanse it using an eye make-up remover and better if sanitized using any hypo-allergenic sanitizers.
- Brush: This tool is used for blush-on, foundation, lipstick or even eyeshadows. You can use brush cleaners available in the market. As an alternative, you can also use a mixture of water and shampoo or hypo-allergenic facial wash. Be sure to clean it thoroughly. In case you are seldom using this tool, it is enough to clean them once a month.
- Cosmetic Bag: it holds all your make-up and the beauty tools as well. It should be clean also to avoid bacteria accumulation. Mix alcohol and water in a 7:3 ratio to clean the inside part of the bag before putting your make-up kit. It will be great if you are going to replace cosmetics bags every year.
Always find time to take care of your things especially that ones that make you beautiful. Dirt and impurities will definitely give you skin irritation or infection. You can avoid it by practicing proper hygiene. It starts with simple things we do every day. A pretty face will not be impossible if you know exactly how to take care of your face.
