Makeup applicators like brushes and sponges make cosmetic application a lot better in many ways. Brushes, for instance, give you more control in applying the products, especially with eye shadows. Sponges, on the other hand, enable flawless application with even coverage, and help with blending makeup.
If you have been breaking out and ruled out any other cause, your makeup tools may be to blame. Here are some of the things that can happen when you continue to use your filthy makeup brushes and sponges.
Don’t make your brushes and sponges a breeding ground for dust, dirt, and acne-causing bacteria. Here are a few tips on cleaning your makeup tools.
When cleaning brushes – Wet the bristles with lukewarm water and use a mild cleanser, baby shampoo, or dishwashing liquid to remove dirt. Gently massage the bristles in your palm and then rinse them thoroughly. Dry the brushes hanging with the bristles facing down. You can also use a cleanser specifically made for brushes and follow instructions for cleaning.
When cleaning reusable sponges – Use a bar of soap and place your makeup sponge under warm water to remove dirt and excess makeup. Soap up every part of the makeup blender and squeeze it repeatedly until the sponge is clean. Lastly, dry the sponge in an open area.
If you’re already battling with acne, proper skin care regimen and consistent use of acne medication can help. It is also important to make sure that you use noncomedogenic skin care products and clean brushes when applying makeup.
Aesthetic treatments can also help with acne and improve the tone and texture of your skin. Here are some procedures worth considering:
