Guide - Deep Cleaning Makeup Tools the Right Way // How to make your Beauty Blender spotless.

One thing I’ve learnt from being a beauty addict is that its never to late to learn to do things the right way. I’ve messed up correctors, contour powders before, but continuously watching makeup tutorials has taught me how to do them right. In the same vein, I felt that I have been washing makeup brushes the wrong way. I always used Johnson & Johnsons Baby Shampoo to clean makeup brushes & sponges….

How To Sanitize Your Makeup !

Hi pretty ladies! 

You know how we can get a little crazy shopping makeup? I don’t think I’m a hoarder, but I definitely have a lot of makeup. The thing is, once some of my makeup crossed a year or so, I started feeling little icky about using it! I do keep my makeup in the best condition and I’m sure anyone would, after all, that stuff goes on your face. But I still felt like it’s gotten pretty old to continue using and throwing out just a year old makeup was out of the question. Then one day, one of my favourite youtubers aka Sineadycady, did a video about sanitizing makeup and voila! It was exactly what looking for. I immediately started collecting all the stuff I would need (that’s why I ordered those spray bottles from eBay) and sanitized my entire makeup collection. I also looked through some blogposts for further help and now I finally have a guide that I follow every time I sanitize my makeup. Actually, this post was supposed to go up in August but better late than never. So here I am, sharing all that I’ve learnt with you!

What you’ll need:

1. Rubbing alcohol: Just ask any medical store. The pharmacist I went to said that its used to sanitize a body part before injection.

2. One spray bottle (I bought mine HERE)

3. Q-Tips/Ear buds

4. Cotton pads

5. One bowl/glass

Why rubbing alcohol?  It is used for disinfection or to soothe, cool, or warm the skin. It is a type of denatured alcohol and is unfit for human consumption. Rubbing alcohol is most often used to disinfect medical instruments and human skin, especially in the case of minor injury or to prepare the skin for an injection. If left on the skin for two minutes, 70% ethyl alcohol will reduce the bacterial count by 5%. People should be careful when applying rubbing alcohol to the skin, as it can be toxic if used over large parts of the body. It can be poisonous if inhaled, so it should be used only in well ventilated areas. It evaporates quickly.
