"I want to tell you a little bit about keeping things clean, and by that I mean not only your tools, but how to clean the face as well. So the tools--it's very important to keep these clean because bacteria can get into them. You can do this two ways. First of all, you can wash it with a mild cleanser, a shampoo or some kind of mild, liquid soap. Make sure you get all of the makeup out of it, and then make sure that it dries upright, like this, so that they stay nice and full--not that they're laying down or even worse, like this, because then you'll ruin the brush and it won't be functionable anymore. Make sure you dry it this way. There's also commercial cleaners that you can use as well, that work well. Also, in keeping the face clean, I like to keep on hand, baby wipes and there's also commercial makeup removers. It's very important to make sure that you use a makeup remover for eyes that is specially formulated for eyes because it has a lot more oils in those eye makeups, so commercial, eye makeup remover works really well for the eyes. But for the face, those baby wipes work great but you can also use a commercial cleaner as well."

It sanitizes, clean, remove bacterias and germs and revitalise porous cosmetic surfaces. I have learned a lot about that brand lately (I am a beauty journalist in Quebec, Canada and have my eyes and ears everywhere!) it was created by a Canadian Make-up artist looking to clean her make-up surfaces without changing the color, texture, smell or technology in it. Alccol does all that while BeautySoClean does not. It has just enough alcool(denaturated and froma natural source) so it will kill bacteria efficiently in a matter of 10 seconds but not too much so it won’t alter your make-up. NO OTHER cosmetic sanitizer offers all that. One spray, 6 inches away from your surface and in 10 seconds, all the bacterias are gone, as tested in a national lab. For penc...
