It's so important to keep your face as clean as possible to avoid dirt and grime clogging up your skin. This goes for anyone, but especially for those with sensitive skin that find that you break out easily. Here are a few things to keep in mind!
Pillowcases: Wash them often! I rotate through pillowcases at least once a week, sometimes twice a week. You're sleeping against them all night so you want them to be as clean as possible.
Makeup brushes: So many of us get lazy and don't wash them as often as we should. I tend to wait longer to clean eye brushes, but any brush that gets used on my face gets cleaned at least twice a week, if not more. You don't want that bacteria collecting in your brush and just continuing to use it!
Wash cloths: For those of you that use wash cloths to wash your face, be sure to wash these as well. Of course, you're probably rinsing after each use, but be sure to throw it in the wash and just keep a few to rotate through.
Phones!: I've seen this happen to so many people where they start breaking out on the sides of their cheeks and don't know why. Phones are placed in purses, on tables, in pockets and they're touched by our fingers all day long. Try to clean your phone off before touching it to your face. Or better yet, just use a headset and avoid it altogether!
Hands off: Stop touching your face! As much as we wash our hands, they're still constantly touching things and collecting bacteria all day long. Try to avoid touching your face unless you've just washed your hands to avoid transferring any bacteria.
Hope that helps everyone and especially those that find themselves breaking out and can't figure out why! Keep all of these things in mind and it might help alleviate some of that!
Talk soon.
