Cleaning your bronzer stick is a simple process that can help extend its lifespan and maintain its performance. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Gather Your Materials: You'll need some rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol is a good choice), a clean tissue or cloth, and a small spray bottle if you have one.
2. Prep Your Bronzer Stick: Twist up your bronzer stick so that the product is exposed.
3. Apply Rubbing Alcohol: If you have a spray bottle, pour some rubbing alcohol into it and lightly spritz the top of the bronzer stick. If you don't have a spray bottle, you can gently dab a tissue or cloth into the rubbing alcohol and then apply it to the bronzer stick. Be careful not to soak the product; a light application is all that's needed.
4. Wipe Clean: After applying the rubbing alcohol, gently wipe the top layer of the bronzer stick with a clean tissue or cloth. This should remove any bacteria or dirt.
5. Let It Dry: Leave your bronzer stick open and allow it to air dry. The alcohol will evaporate, leaving your bronzer stick clean and sanitized.
6. Regular Cleaning: It's a good idea to clean your bronzer stick regularly, especially if you use it daily. A good rule of thumb is to clean it once a week.
Remember, the alcohol is used to sanitize the product, and it's safe for use on cosmetics. However, it's always a good idea to do a patch test on your skin after cleaning, especially if you have sensitive skin. If you notice any irritation or adverse reaction, discontinue use of the product.
