A new season is just around the corner, and here’s how Donna Francis prepares
It’s good to have a good old clear out every once in a while, especially with your beauty products, as if you’re like me, and have lots of different make-up and skincare on the go, you can often forget how long you’ve had them for. It also gives you an opportunity to clean up your brushes, tools and accessories too.I always start with my makeup bag
And I don’t mean just cleaning and editing what’s inside the bag, I clean the actual bag too. I turn it inside out and wipe it over with an antibacterial wipe or a flannel, making sure to get into all the cracks and crevices where powder and foundations tend to accumulate. And then I’ll wipe down the packaging of all my products, including wiping my tweezers and eyelash curlers with an antibacterial wipe as they can get really grimy.
But also it’s worth noting that even if a product looks ok, it doesn’t mean to say it’s not harbouring any bacteria. And I am always extra cautious about keeping any products that are used around the eye area for too long as it’s an area more prone to infection. Plus anything hanging around in a damp shower can create the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive so make sure to regularly machine-wash any flannels or shower puffs.
For brushes, swish the bristles around in a mug filled with water and dishwashing soap, rinse thoroughly with cold water, sweep the brushes across a clean kitchen towel and then leave them to dry on a flat surface. For sponges, pour some micellar water onto the sponge, rub it in, rinse with water and leave to dry on a kitchen towel.
