STEP UP YOUR SANITISING

Upping your hygiene when you’re battling a cold is a must, but it goes further than bedsheets and surfaces. When it comes to cleaning beauty tools and products, you should aim to keep your routine as clean as possible. In fact, it’s important to throw away open makeup after one year to avoid skin irritation and breakouts from any built-up bacteria.
