How To Take Extreme Hygiene Measures In Our Makeup Products

Without a doubt, the coronavirus epidemic has changed our lifestyle overnight. All experts advise that we reinforce hygiene measures and apply social distance to prevent COVID-19 from spreading.

However, we must not forget that in addition to sanitizing our home and constantly washing our hands, we must also clean our makeup products more frequently, especially brushes, which so many bacteria can hide.

For this reason, we asked Millie Morales, celebrity makeup artist and hairdresser, about what we should vary in our beauty routine during these days. And these were her responses:

SM How can we clean our makeup tools so they are safe?

MM The vast majority of my makeup tools are my brushes. It is extremely important to take care of them and clean them every time I use them on me or a client. I love to start using Cinema Secrets Professional because it helps me remove excess makeup on brushes and disinfects quite a bit. It also dries very quickly and does not need rinsing.

Then I like to wash them with a brush shampoo like Beauty Blender's or any antibacterial soap. It is very important to leave them drying horizontally and if you can, put them in the sun for a while.

SM What beauty products do you recommend using now that we are not out of the house?

MM Right now - we're at home - and we have no access to be in the salon so often we refresh our hair color at home with a product like Nutrisse Color Reviver of Garnier is a mask with pigment in 5 shades which helps you to tone the tones.

In addition, now that we have so much time at home, how rich it would be to be able to make homemade and natural hair masks using rich avocados, natural oils, coconut, papaya, aloe vera etc.

SM What beauty routine do you follow on those days?

MM I like to start my day preparing a rich green juice based on different fruits and vegetables such as celery, lemon, ginger, green apple and pineapple. With this juice I have all my nutrients and it also tastes delicious and gives me a boost energy for both my body and my skin!

Then I start my exercise routine that includes stretching, sit-ups, a little cardio, and easy exercises to do at home that help me activate my circulation.

-Once my exercise is finished, I clean my face with my Garnier Micellar rose water, I take a bath and I take advantage and make a mask for my hair that only needs 1 minute duration. It is perfect for hydrating hair and it also smells delicious.

These days I take advantage of the fact that I do not need to put makeup on and I get all my moisturizers and eye masks and I let the skin breathe during the day.
