Maintaining your makeup kit and making sure all of the cosmetic equipment in it is properly cleaned should be a priority in your beauty regimen. Here are some maintenance and hygiene guidelines for your cosmetics kit.
[RB]How To Keep Your Makeup Kit Clean
It’s essential to remove your makeup at the end of the day to maintain your skin fresh and healthy. To avoid skin problems, keep your makeup kit clean and hygienic in addition to following a normal skincare regimen. In your foundation sponge, cosmetic brushes, and even lipsticks, dead skin cells, dirt, oil, and germs may build.
Skin irritation, redness, rashes, blocked pores, blackheads, whiteheads, milia, and even acne outbreaks may result from using these unsanitary goods on your face. Conjunctivitis, staph, e-cold, fungal infections, and cold sores can all be caused by using contaminated cosmetics and makeup products. Makeup kits should be sterilized every two weeks, according to beauty experts. Once a week, wash your brushes and blending sponge. Once a week, disinfect metal or plastic tools as well.
[RB]So, how long has it been since you cleansed your cosmetics bag? If you can’t recall, you should immediately clean and sterilize all of your beauty tools. Here are some cleaning and sanitizing suggestions for your cosmetics bag:
Brushes for makeup
[RB]Keep your foundation and eye shadow brushes clean and free of dirt. For a fast clean, use a brush cleaner or paper towels. Wash makeup brushes with cool or lukewarm water and brush cleanser to remove excess makeup from the bristles. While cleaning the brush, swirl it in your palm to ensure that no dirt gets lodged inside the bristles. Rinse until they appear to be clean. Place the brushes flat on a tabletop to air dry after they’ve been washed.
Beauty sponges
Mold may form in makeup equipment like blending sponges and face washing brushes if they are not allowed to dry after each use.
To clean your makeup sponge, follow these steps:
[RB]- Squeeze the sponge gently under running water until it is completely saturated.
- Rub a bar of soap or a washing liquid onto the sponge.
- Massage the sponge into the palm of your damp hand, squeezing and pushing it.
- Then compress the water until it flows clean.
- Set your sponge aside to dry naturally.
Foundation (liquid or cream)
When it comes to things you can’t clean, like foundation cream, the best method to preserve cleanliness is to avoid putting your fingers in it. To get to the substance, use sanitary applicators such as a clean cotton bud, sponge, or spatula.
[RB]Concealer and lipstick
Twist your stick product slightly, then remove a tiny coating with a cotton bud. After that, clean the exposed area with isopropyl alcohol. Allow to air dry or wipe clean. Sanitizing your lipstick and concealers at least once a week is also a good suggestion.
Pencils
Before each usage, sharpen your eyeliner and lipliner pencils. If you’re using a retractable product, dampen a cotton pad with rubbing alcohol and clean the tip of the pencil before using it.
[RB]Powders
Dirt and oils can accumulate on pressed powder cosmetic items including eyeshadow, blush, bronzer, and two-way cake. Scrape off a small layer of the product with a butter knife. Then spritz it with alcohol and let it dry naturally.
