Hygiene is more important than ever in 2020, and rightly so! This is a topic that is very near and dear to my heart, so I’m very excited to share the proper sanitary practices on cleaning your tools both easily and effectively. It may seem like a small thing, but ensuring that the tools you use are properly cleaned makes a huge difference in both healthy skin and a healthy body. After all, when your tools are clean, you’re more likely to have better skin and less likely to give yourself any type of infection. In this article, we’re also going to bust some myths and give you all the facts when it comes to certain products and techniques. Let’s get right to it!
MYTH: The higher the isopropyl alcohol content, the better.
FACT: Higher alcohol content in isopropyl alcohol isn’t always better. The reason for this is that anything above 70% evaporates too quickly to sanitize properly, and it only ends up sanitizing the surface. So always use 70% when cleaning your beauty tools.
MYTH: Dish soap or shampoo works just fine in cleaning your makeup brushes.
FACT: Dish soap or shampoo may clean one’s brushes to the naked eye, but it doesn’t disinfect them, so the bacteria that’s harmful to you and your skin is still in there...and multiplying! For proper disinfectant, you’d need something like Dr. Bronner’s Liquid Castile Soap or Sonia Roselli’s Tiger’s Eye Brush Soap.
MYTH: You don’t need to clean your pencil sharpener.
FACT: Considering that we use pencils directly on orifices like our eyes and lips, it is an absolute must that pencil sharpeners need to be disinfected thoroughly and regularly. This is harder to do with plastic sharpeners, which is why I always recommend a steel one that can be fully submerged in alcohol. Not only do you need to do it this way, this should be done after every use. Yup, you read that right: after every use! Staedtler Mars Metal Sharpener $2.55 is available at www.theonlinepencompany.com
