Clean your makeup brushes regularly
To fight infection and clogged pores washing concealer and foundation brushes once a week. For brushes you use around your eyes, twice per month, and for any other brushes, once a month is fine.

Many people feel they only need to protect themselves on sunny days or when visiting the beach. But the truth is that we need to protect our skin even when we’re driving a car, flying in an airplane, or running errands. It’s the daily UV exposure that contributes to the visible signs of aging. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or greater and remember that it needs to be reapplied every 2 hours.
