If you have ever wondered how to sanitize makeup, then you have come across the right article. This is a quick overview of how to get your makeup ready for use in the shower or for a trip to the dermatologist. While some brands of makeup can be used on an infected area and left to soak in water or on a cotton ball, other makeup can only be removed with specially designed makeup remover. In some cases, like with eyeshadow, eye makeup can be kept inside the eye shade, so it is best to keep it separate from the rest of your makeup. Let’s take a look at how to get your makeup ready for these situations.
If you have ever had a pimple pop up on your lap or on your face, then you are familiar with how easy it is for bacteria to grow in places that are not clean. The best way to clear up a pimple is to clean the area thoroughly with warm water and soap, then use a cotton ball to dab away any excess cleanser. If you have a problem with blackheads, then applying a mixture of water and lemon juice will do the trick, while leaving the skin feeling fresh.
- Washing your mascara off is similar to cleaning out your eyeshadow.
- Simply take the mascara wand, dip it in the soap, and wipe off the excess.
- Don’t worry about residue being left behind, as this would clog your mascara tubing.
- If you are having trouble removing mascara that has become glued to your eyelid, then try applying a small amount of baby oil over the bristles and leaving the rest on.
There are several different ways to clean your makeup, so it’s hard to explain each in detail here. One simple way is just to put a little rubbing alcohol onto a cotton ball and swab any spots you find around the eye area. It is important to be cautious when using rubbing alcohol, as some products such as lip balm or blush may contain alcohol. For best results, you should attempt to remove the product with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol, rather than directly applying to the eye. This method is easy to do, painless, and effective.
Another way to clean your makeup is to utilize a toothbrush or makeup spatula. Begin by rinsing the eye with running water, then putting a small amount of makeup remover on your finger and working it into a paste with your toothbrush. Once this is in place, gently rub the remover around the area you were trying to sterilize, starting from the base of the lashes and working your way up to the tips of the lashes. Make sure that you only use a small amount, or else the concentrated remover may burn your skin. If you do happen to burn your skin, make sure to apply makeup primer to prevent your makeup from bleeding or caking.
You can also purchase sanitizing makeup brushes or mascara wands. These are typically made from rubber, which is why they are typically found in beauty supply stores. They come in many different designs and sizes, so depending on how many cosmetics you need to get rid of each day will depend on how large your makeup brushes or mascara wands should be. Either way, these products can help ensure that bacteria, dirt, and oils do not get trapped in your makeup brushes and cause problems for you.
