Detox your beauty products and begin the process of clearing clutter
Have you noticed how you reach for the same clothes each week, your favourites are worn every day and the balance is mostly left to hang and gather dust? The same can be said for your make-up. Do you reach for the same color palette each day? We use the favourites while the other products sit in the back of the drawer, unused and mostly forgotten.
Well don’t feel guilty anymore because there is a really good reason to detox your beauty drawer and winter, when we spend most of our time indoors, is the best time to do it.
We all own more make-up and skincare products than we need – how many “gift with purchase” do you have floating around in a drawer somewhere?
Start by removing products that:
- Have passed their expiry date?
- Are never used – let’s face it, there are many lippy’s that came with those gift’s and how many of them truly suit you?
- A certain colour no longer works for you, that foundation that you had to have that clearly is the wrong colour, wrong texture or you simply don’t like
- Mascara’s really only last three months, bin the old ones
- Skincare that you have tried and no longer use or didn’t like the results of, this is not going to change, biff them.
- The product is no longer appropriate for your skin type https://loveyourage.co.nz/the-one-beauty-product-you-must-use-in-your-40s-50s-60s
When you are done sorting, take the time to clean your brushes, rollers and any other beauty tools you may use, my choice here is smashbox camera ready brush cleaner. https://www.smashbox.com/product/17650/53154/accessories/brushes/camera-ready-brush-cleaner.
Start clean and create an uncluttered beauty environment.
Don’t be tempted at this point to replace anything, try using up what you have first.
Reward yourself on a job well done. Now move on to the next drawer detox – perhaps your underwear drawer?
