Clean makeup brushes equals fewer wrinkles

It may not be surprising that using dirty makeup brushes deposits grime, germs, and oils on your skin contributing to flareups of acne and making you lose your glow. Using less than clean makeup tools and brushes can cause clogged pores and irritate the skin.

But keeping your makeup brushes and sponges spotless will also help you avoid wrinkles—as . this can contribute to the proliferation of free radicals and create lines and sags. An over-abundance of free radicals can lead to oxidative stress and this to the destruction of collagen and estrogen, so more wrinkles, less volume and bounce.

The easy answer is to make sure your implements, makeup sponges, and makeup brushes are spotless—and your fingertips, too. More on this story from mindbodygreen.

The best recommendation is to wash morning and night (and in-between mask wearings as behind the mask skin tends to get hot, oily, and sweaty!) with a Warsh Cloth. This miracle-worker makeup remover cloth cleans your skin of makeup and grime with only water—and exfoliates gently at the same time. Since we wash the Warsh Cloth between uses in hot, soapy water—we’re avoiding wrinkles in more ways than one!
