If you’re using cream makeup, it’s often best applied and blended with just your fingertips… no makeup brushes and beauty blenders necessary!
Getting rid of these tools isn’t just good for simplicity’s sake, but may also help avoid acne and inflammation.
Brushes and beauty blenders must be cleaned regularly to prevent contaminating your skin. Unfortunately, most people don’t clean their applicators nearly often enough. One survey found that nearly 40% clean them less than once a month, while another 22% said they never clean their brushes.
If you’ve switched to cream-based makeup but are still holding onto brushes and blenders, consider letting them go, applying your makeup with clean fingertips instead.
4. Drying Toners
In addition to a lotion for every body part, you may also have heard that you need to tone your skin after you cleanse. But toners work best for people with large pores and oily skin—and that’s not something most women over 50 struggle with.
If your skin tends to be dry, skip the toner and apply a vitamin-rich serum after cleansing. We suggest Boom Nectar™, our robust moisturizing serum.
