In almost every area of my life, I am borderline unreasonable about cleanliness.
Except when it comes to make-up brushes. On that tiny, isolated island, I am a proper slattern. While I fully acknowledge that decent brushes make the difference between a smeared and sculpted face, mine can go a year… or longer… without seeing any soap. Picture the build-up. Imagine the bacteria stroked across face and eyes. What is wrong with me?
Well, every time it crosses my mind to clean them, I am in the middle of using them. And a wet bristle is no good to anyone. And they take hours to dry. So I don’t. And then I forget. Does this resonate?
If it does, then allow me to introduce you to Antibacterial Brush Sanitiser Foam. One squirt in the palm, rub the brush about a bit and… up to 99.9999 per cent of bacteria killed; with your brush dry and up and running again in 20-30 seconds. It won’t get all the make-up residue out of the brush but it will decontaminate it, vastly decreasing the likelihood of self-loathing. And spots. This effective and well-priced foam comes from the brilliant Look Good Feel Better stable; a global charity that provides practical support for people struggling with the side effects of their cancer treatment — to help give them confidence. Life-changing, life-affirming confidence at a very frightening time.
So give this excellent cause your cash, and give your face a break from the grime. Or wash your brushes. Because that is definitely going to happen. Yup, so going to happen…
