To clean your eyelash curler, use alcohol on a cotton ball to sanitize the pads and metal parts.
Steps for Cleaning Your Eyelash Curler:
Here's a simple method to keep your eyelash curler clean and hygienic:
- Gather your supplies: You'll need rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) and cotton balls.
- Dampen the cotton ball: Pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol onto a cotton ball. Make sure it's damp but not dripping.
- Wipe down the curler: Thoroughly wipe the rubber pad and the metal frame of the eyelash curler with the alcohol-soaked cotton ball. Pay close attention to the areas that come into contact with your eyelashes.
- Allow to dry: Let the eyelash curler air dry completely before using it again. This ensures the alcohol has fully evaporated and won't irritate your eyes.
Why is Cleaning Important?
- Hygiene: Eyelash curlers can accumulate makeup residue, oils, and bacteria from your eyelashes and eyelids. Regularly cleaning helps prevent eye infections and irritation.
- Performance: A clean curler works more effectively. Buildup on the pads can reduce grip and make it harder to curl your lashes properly.
- Longevity: Keeping your eyelash curler clean can extend its lifespan.
How Often to Clean:
- Ideally, clean your eyelash curler after each use or at least several times a week, especially if you wear eye makeup daily.
