CLEAN OR TOSS: A GUIDE TO MAINTAINING YOUR BEAUTY TOOLS - Fit & Fabulous Friday

Makeup Brushes

Clean: The more often the better, but aim for every other week.

Toss: When ratty or frayed.

Makeup Sponges

Clean: Weekly. Unless you’re using the average drugstore makeup sponge, those are for one-time use only.

Toss: Every 3 months or when cracked.

Eyelash Curlers

Clean: Weekly with a cotton pad soaked in rubbing alcohol.

Toss: Replace the rubber pad every 4-6 months or when torn. Replace the curler when it loses tension. For most, that’s about every 12-18 months.

Makeup Bags

Clean: Give it an honest assessment yearly. If it’s in good condition, throw it in the washing machine.

Toss: When it’s no longer salvageable.

Tweezers, Sharpeners and Nail Tools

Clean: Ideally metal tools should be cleaned and disinfected after every use, or at least every 2 weeks.

Toss: When the tools start to dull or you see rust or corrosion.

Razors

Clean: Thoroughly rinse your razor and allow it to dry outside of the shower after every use.

Toss: Weekly or when it begins to dull.

Hairbrushes

Clean: Remove hair from the bristles weekly. Give it the full treatment monthly.

Toss: When bristles are broken or damaged.
