Disinfect makeup brushes: We cannot stress enough on how important it is to clean your makeup brushes regularly.

After using soap and water, disinfect your makeup brushes with wipeout hand sanitiser and allow them to air dry.
Disinfect phones and devices: High-touch surfaces like your phone and keyboard are a breeding ground for germs and bacteria, hence it’s necessary to disinfect them regularly especially during this coronavirus pandemic.
