Beauty Quickie:How often to Clean Beauty Blender when it is used regularly? Darlings this one is simple! However, we can easily understand the confusion. With numerous makeup influencers expressing how their blender made it 7 months out with no rips; it is a thrilling prospect to see just how long these babies can last. It’s the whole “I know my car and it can go 80 more miles on E” thinking.
However, your face is not a car. While you may tempt fate before hitting a gas station; you can’t be as forgiving with your face region. Going too long before cleaning a beauty blender can result in experiencing unwanted breakouts, clogged pores, exposure to bacteria and the ultimate worst… premature aging skin. All of that can happen just from using dirty products. EW!
Therefore, make sure that you are cleaning your blenders after every use. Say WHAT?! Yes, ideally this is what you should be doing. Once you are finished using your beauty blender for a flawless application it should be cleaned.
How Often to Clean Beauty Blender -The Straight Up Answer
If you find that your sponge friend is really filthy. Simply toss into your washing machine and it will be thoroughly cleansed and good for future use. Keep in mind that the better you care for your beauty blender, the longer it’s “life span” will last. At $20 a pop you can really get your money’s worth by keeping it well-maintained.
However, even with the best maintenance eventually you will have to say goodbye. But when? Most blenders can keep their effectiveness for up to 2-3 months.

Water Babies
Are you drinking enough water? This tip is so simple yet still many of us do not always make the best use of it. Drinking enough water every day can help us flush out as well as detoxify our bodies.
What can this accomplish? By staying properly hydrated we are able to rid our bodies of not only bad elements that can make us sick, but also elements that can create our beauty foe, acne.

Thou Shall Not Be Picker
This year make one promise to yourself, “I will not squeeze or pick my pimples!” When a zit pops up right before a special occasion, it can be very tempting to want to get rid of it immediately. However, doing so could prove to be very costly.
What some don’t realize, is that when you pick or squeeze a pimple you’re only making the problem worse. This is because doing so can actually lead to the acne spreading. So then, what started as a little problem can then become a much bigger issue.
Therefore, what is the cure or solution to this common beauty problem? Instead of squeezing or picking, apply a topical ointment or cream specially formulated to treat acne. Also, applying toner to the skin after cleansing can help to keep skin clear. Use Q-tips or cotton balls to dab on the toner to any infected areas.
Clear Skin- The Easiest Methods
Nothing But a Food Thing Baby
Can you eat your way to better skin? In one word, yes! For healthier clear skin be sure to consume plenty of fruits and vegetables that contain vitamins such as Vitamin A and Vitamin C.
For instance, Vitamin A has been scientifically proven to help fade brown spots, create smoother skin, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This is because Vitamin A has the ability to stimulate cells that create tissues that keep skin healthy and firm. Furthermore, this vitamin also helps to protect skin against UV damage as well as infection. Therefore, if you want fresh, youthful looking skin then Vitamin A is the vitamin for you!
Not quite sure which foods will help give your body more Vitamin A? Well, Vitamin A can be derived from such animal sources such as eggs, meat as well as dairy products. However, there are plenty of plant-based food sources that you can consume as well in order to enjoy the benefits of Vitamin A. They are:

Get You Some Sun, Hun
This final clear skin tip is actually going to destroy a popular myth. Here it goes: The sun isn’t completely bad. From the time we are very little we are often taught that being in the sun is going to destroy your skin and leave you looking like a horror film character.
Nevertheless, not all sun exposure is bad for you. Yes, extremely long lengths of sun exposure can cause damage, however, small amounts can actually be good for your skin. daily exposure to the sun can manufacture vitamin D throughout the skin.
Research has shown that this natural vitamin cannot only heal but help prevent acne. it does this by helping to reduce inflammation while keeping skin soft strong and smooth with a luminous glow. All you have to do in order to enjoy this benefit is to go outside for just 10 to 15 minutes everyday.
Remember, it’s all about healthy exposure. Short amounts and bursts of time out in the sun can do your skin much good. It is the longer amounts of UV exposure that may cause damage. Therefore, stay balanced with daily exposure to the sun, eat healthy foods, drink plenty of water, and don’t even think about squeezing or picking those pimples! By keeping all these tips and tricks in mind clear skin can be yours.
