To clean used eyeshadow, you can easily sanitize the surface layer to remove potential germs without wasting the product.
Sanitizing Your Used Eyeshadow Palettes
When you use eyeshadow, the top layer is exposed to air, brushes, and fingers, which can transfer germs. Sanitizing helps to remove this exposed layer.
According to the reference provided, you just want to remove the exposed, potentially germy top layer. The recommended method involves using 70% isopropyl alcohol.
Here's a simple process:
- Gather Your Supplies: You will need 70% isopropyl alcohol and a clean spray bottle.
- Prepare the Alcohol: Pour some of the 70% isopropyl alcohol into a clean spray bottle.
- Spritz the Surface: Lightly spritz the palette surface of the eyeshadow you want to clean.
- Allow to Dry: Let the alcohol evaporate completely. This process helps kill surface bacteria and leaves the eyeshadow ready for use.
This method is effective for palettes and powders like eyeshadows, blushes, and foundations, targeting only the very top layer.
