Sort Out Your Make-Up Bag

When was the last time you washed your make-up brushes? are you still hanging onto the dried-up lip gloss you’ve had since 2011? We’re all guilty of holding onto our favourite products and, although an old blusher isn’t life threatening, it could be the reason for those annoying breakouts or red patches. Why? Because like food, make-up does have a use-by date. Here’s how long to keep things…

Mascara

Bag life: four months

As well as the fact that an old mascara will eventually dry out, causing clumpy application, the bacteria can build on the wand as it is constantly dipped in and out. Using the same brush increases the risk of an eye infection, so don’t be tempted to keep mascara for longer.

Make-up bag

Give it a spruce up!

Make-up bags are breeding grounds for bacteria – think about all the spillages, dust and debris building up over the years. Invest in a machine-washable bag or one that can be hand-washed.
