“What’s causing your breakouts?”

That’s right, your skin isn’t the only thing that needs a healthy cleaning routine! The bristles on your make-up brushes a magnet for bacteria, dirt, and oil. Not so beautiful, right?

Unless you wash your make-up brushes religiously, chances are good that they’re the culprit behind every pesky breakout and unsightly blemish.

Any brush that is used to apply heavy cream foundations or gels should be washed after every use, and don’t even get me started on your beauty blenders… *cringe*

Because even if you don’t break-out from your not-so-squeaky clean brushes, you can still end up with skin irritation, roughness, and redness.

Washing away gross bacteria and built-up grime isn’t the only reason to scrub your brushes on the regular – using a dirty brush to apply your make-up means that you won’t always get the best application because yesterday’s make-up residue could distort the shade of the color you pick today.

As an added bonus, cleaning your brushes regularly keeps them healthy, smooth, and ready for another hard day at work.

So if you want to avoid pesky breakouts and less than stellar beauty results, follow these helpful tips to keep your brushes clean and your skin happy!

Deep Clean Foundation Brushes Once A Day, Powder Brushes Once Or Twice A Week

Remember, bacteria loves moisture, so it's essential that you clean your beauty blender and liquid brushes each night. For powder brushes, once or twice a week is fine, provided that you're spot cleaning after each use.

For both synthetic and real bristle brushes, you can use a gentle solution of dish soap and olive oil to really break up the grime and bring your tools back to like-new condition.

Once they’re dry, give them a quick spritz with isopropyl alcohol for one last blitz of cleaning defense.

Spot-Clean Like It's Your Job

You can never spot clean too much. Spot cleaning refers to using a spray-on, fast-drying cleanser after you use every brush. We swear by the BareBeauty Conditioning Brush Cleanser. It dissolves makeup and grime while leaving the bristles of your brushes fluffy and conditioned.

Remember, spot cleaning is not a substitution for deep cleaning.

Spot cleaning removes pigment and makeup, but it can’t cleanse thoroughly enough to remove all of the bacteria that your makeup brushes may have accumulated, because humans are kinda nasty and we can't help but harbor bacteria all over our largest organ.

Sure, you can spot clean to keep bacteria at bay – but it doesn't completely eradicate it. Only a deep cleaning can prevent bacteria and *gulp* infestations.

“Makeup may come and go, but brush cleaning is forever.”

Banish Those Blemishes

Before you reach for your makeup brushes, make sure your skin is in optimal condition! Here’s a simple, easy to follow skin care regime that will have your skin glowing and acne free!

A Skin Care Regime to Annihilate Your Acne

STEP 1: Wash your face

I know that your first instinct will be to reach for the toughest acne-fighting face wash out there – but that’s not what your skin is actually screaming for.

Your poor, distressed, acne-prone skin doesn’t need a harsh, drying acne cleanser; instead of healing your face, they just damage your skin’s natural protection barrier and leave you more vulnerable to break-outs.

Instead, stick to a gentle, sulfate free cleanser to dissolve excess oil, dirt, and bacteria – without stripping your skin and leaving it screaming for moisture.

I’d recommend Glow Restore, our natural, ethically sourced, cruelty-free cream-based, sulphate-free cleanser that won’t leave your face tight and irritated.

Side note: If you're a makeup wearer, I highly suggest double cleansing—which is when you first use an oil-based cleanser like Skin So Fresh Oil to break down your foundation and eye makeup (don't worry; the oil won't clog your pores), and then use your gentle cleanser to rinse everything away. It's way more effective at cleaning your pores than a face wash alone.

STEP 2: Apply an acne treatment

And by acne treatment, I mean any serums or gels with active ingredients (aka the ingredients that are going to "actively" treat your acne) like the ones below:

Adapalene: a type of over-the-counter retinoid formulated specifically for acne. It regulates cell turnover, reduces oil production, and calms inflammation

Salicylic acid: a BHA (beta hydroxy acid) that dissolves the excess oil and dead skin cells that lead to clogged pores

Benzoyl peroxide: an ingredient that kills acne-causing bacteria on the skin and in your pores

Niacinamide: a vitamin (you may know it as vitamin b3) that reduces inflammation and discoloration, while balancing oil production

In general, if you're dealing with blackheads, whiteheads, go with adapalene (like our BlackHead Banisher) or salicylic acid (WhiteHead Whisperer), and if you're dealing with inflammatory acne, like pustules, try benzoyl peroxide or niacinamide (both can be found in our T-Zone Tamer). As for cystic acne? Adapalene is your best bet, but sometimes cystic acne calls for a doctor's care.

Keep in mind, acne caused by hormones requires more than topical treatment. And a clean diet can be incredibly helpful when you work to balance hormones and clear up problem acne.

STEP 3: Moisturize

Give the acne treatment you've just applied a minute to sink into your skin, and then layer some moisturizer on top. Yes, even you oily types.

Oily and acne-prone skin 100 percent need moisture.

Without it, your oil glands go into overdrive and end up producing more sebum (oil) to compensate, leading to clogged pores and overly shiny skin.

Pretty much the opposite of what you want.

Keep your skin balanced and hydrated with a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer (go with a lotion formula like Or Else It Gets The Hose Again if your skin is dry/combination and a gel formula like Feelin’ Gelly? if your skin is oily) that contains hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and/or ceramides.

*For extra protection, add a light spf like Not Today, Satan, to your routine before you go on about your day. It’ll not only protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays, it will also keep your poor acne scars from becoming even more unsightly from sun exposure.

WHATEVER YOU DO…

...resist the urge to attack your acne. Once you pop a pimple, it becomes a first aid issue and is no longer a beauty concern. So be kind, put your dirty fingers or tools away, and allow nature and time to bring that burgeoning disaster to a healthy end.

“Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle”

– Erno Lazlo

One common culprit of breakouts is makeup and skincare products that contain pore-clogging, comedogenic ingredients. Gross!

That’s right! There are ingredients in some cosmetics that are downright sabotaging your efforts to attain the perfect, healthful skin you’ve been dreaming of!

If acne is the bane of your existence, consider checking the labels of your most commonly used cosmetics.

To make it easier for you to shop for non-comedogenic cosmetics, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

1. Look for a non-comedogenic label

This isn’t a hard and fast rule because not every cosmetics brand uses labels like this. There isn’t a universal label like with Gluten Free products, so this can be tricky.

An example of this is our Like New Ultra Gentle Hydrating Cleanser. The back of the product is clearly labeled non-comedogenic.

2. Avoid the most common pore-clogging ingredients

The list of makeup ingredients is long and varied, but here are a few of the most common criminals:

• Lanolin

• Carrageenan

• Sodium Laureth Sulfate

• Palm oil

• Coconut oil

• Wheat germ

3. Use our Honest Beauty Unconcealer

Did you know that our Honest Beauty Unconcealer breaks down product ingredients name-by-name? While the primary function is to let you know whether or not a product is generally safe to use, you can also use the database as a cheat sheet for ingredients lists.

“Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle”

– Erno Lazlo

Puberty usually comes with a whole slew of embarrassing changes in your body, but acne is one of the worst! And it’s especially rude when it follows you out of your teen years to haunt your daily adult life.

Everything from menstruation to menopause, polycystic ovarian syndrome to increased androgen levels can cause hormonal fluctuations that result in acne, pimples, and even painful cysts.

Add in the wonderful stress hormone cortisol and you’ve got a recipe for painful, unsightly, life-destroying acne that usually hangs around your lower face, giving you a wonderful bumpy beard of whiteheads and blackheads, and cheeks full of spots that aren’t fashionable freckles.

But because the cause of hormonal acne isn’t on the surface, over-the-counter remedies won’t be able to touch it!

So how do you treat your hormones and balance your skin, without resorting to Oral Contraceptives or Anti-Androgen drugs?

You can cycle-sync your skin-care!

Menstruation (Day 1-6)

All hormones drop- skin is dull and lifeless!

Focus: reduce inflammation and cell turnover

Skin Nutrients: Charcoal, salicylic acid, witch hazel, apple-cider vinegar, resurfacing agents

Follicular + Ovulation (Day 7-15)

Estrogen rises and peaks – skin is glowing!

Focus: nourishment and treatment

Skin Nutrients: Fatty acids and nourishing oils, resurfacing acids, vitamin C, zinc oxide

Luteal (Day 16 - 28)

Progesterone rises – sweat and sebum increase!

Focus: Reduce oil and gently clear out pores

Skin Nutrients: salicylic acid, squalene, phytic acid, charcoal

“Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle”

– Erno Lazlo

We just can’t stop touching ourselves! From wiping sweat off your brow, to resting your face in your hands when you’re tired, constantly touching your face with your grubby fingers transfers bacteria and adds pressure to your poor, tired skin. And it HATES it!

Most of us do it without noticing – maybe you stroke your chin while you’re thinking, or you compulsively push your bangs off your forehead – but it’s making your skin seriously enraged."

So hands off! That goes for squeezing pimples and picking at scabs too—that'll only make breakouts worse.

Your face has its own bacteria working to keep your skin protected, and the main bacteria found on your skin and under your nails is staphylococci, and you don’t want to introduce a staph infection to your beautiful face!

And while we’re on the subject of things that touch your face, let’s talk about things that your face touches.

Like your phone. *shudder*

We touch our phones over 2,000 times a day, and bacteria and dirt from your fingers can build up on your screen, causing breakouts around your chin, cheeks, and mouth.

To keep your screen clean, give it a daily rubdown with an antibacterial wipe – or switch to making calls using headphones to avoid contact with your phone at all.

Your work-out clothes, your bike helmet, even your yoga mat, are full of sweat-caused bacteria that will make not only your face, but your back and chest, break out like crazy!

And at the end of the night, you press your face against your pillowcase for hours on end! Make sure that case is fresh and clean, or the products from your hair could easily transfer to your face and cause a whole world of problems!

Being aware of the things that touch your face on the daily will help you to combat those times when you can unwittingly contaminate your beautiful skin with gross, dirty acne producers.
