How to Keep Your Makeup Free of Bacteria

You may be aware that acne blemishes are mainly caused by a combination of three different culprits: oil produced by your pores, dead skin cells that clog those pores, and bacteria that gets trapped inside and causes a reaction. What you might not realize is how this cycle can be perpetuated by your makeup. You generally remove bacteria from your skin every time you wash it (which should occur at least twice a day). But even if you put your makeup on immediately after your morning cleanse, you could still be loading both your tools and your makeup containers with harmful bacteria that is breeding and returning to your skin with every swipe of a brush or powder puff. So how do you break this vicious cycle? There are a couple of ways to keep your makeup (and your face) free of the bacteria that can cause breakouts and in effect, undermine the whole point of your facial routine.

Become Gorgeous by making the most of yourself

We have all come across the kind of woman who makes heads turn, who walks tall, who sweeps into a room, beams with confidence and transmits the notion that she's gorgeous - when on closer inspection, she isn't actually stunningly beautiful at all.

This is the sort of woman who is aware of her worth - and she is sending out the right signals, so others are aware of it, too! One of the ways in which this is done is by "positive posture".
