Makeup bag deep clean 🫧

Ngl I don’t clean my makeup bag nearly as often as I should (especially when it’s this easy). Lately the caked on makeup has been grossing me out, so I decided it was time for a deep clean 😅

I start off by going through literally everything. If I haven’t used it in the past 3 months I toss it. I also check for empties and get rid of any random trash.

Then I toss it in the washer on gentle with a fragrance free/ sensitive detergent. And tadaaaa! My makeup bag is nice and clean again ✨

... Read moreRegularly cleaning your makeup bag is essential to maintain hygiene and extend the life of your beauty products. The process starts with a thorough decluttering—removing any items you haven’t used in the past three months ensures you only keep what’s truly needed, which reduces clutter and makes your daily routine smoother. When it comes to washing your makeup bag, using a sensitive, fragrance-free detergent is key, especially if you have skin sensitivities. Products labeled as "free & clear" or designed for sensitive skin are ideal because they minimize exposure to harsh chemicals that could trigger allergies. Placing the bag in the washing machine on a gentle cycle helps remove makeup residue and bacteria without damaging the bag’s material. Additionally, it's beneficial to clean out any empties and trash from your bag before washing. This prevents clogging the washing machine and ensures your bag gets thoroughly cleaned. After washing, allow the bag to air-dry completely to avoid any moisture buildup which could lead to mold or mildew. Incorporating these cleaning habits not only refreshes your makeup bag but also protects your skin by preventing the transfer of old makeup and bacteria. Consider setting a regular schedule for deep cleaning your makeup bag—every one to two months can keep your beauty supplies organized and hygienic. This simple cleaning hack saves you time and keeps your makeup essentials in great condition.
