you might be feeling the urge to start
spring cleaning your home your desk at
work but don't forget that some of your
routines might need a spring upgrade as
well yeah here are some ways we can
spring clean our beauty routine is our
producer Johanna who works as a makeup
artist Hey
hi guys so we should be changing up our
beauty routine seasonally yeah I
definitely say between the colder months
and the warmer months you definitely
want to make a little bit of a switch
with your beauty routine some of these
are just kind of regular maintenance
things that you should be doing all the
talking okay monthly it's not more the
first thing first cleaning your brushes
anything our makeup brushes on I want
aims but I do know an anchor who used to
work at this TV station who had never
cleaned his TV bra his - makeup Russian
I almost threw up so you want to wash
you want to wash your makeup brushes if
you're using personal makeup brushes
everyday you want to make sure you're
watching them at least once a month I
would say every couple of weeks
I wash mine more often because I use
them on other people and so it's just
sanitary some tips for washing your
brushes you want to always make sure
that you keep the brush down when you're
running it under water or when you are
exposing it to water because if the top
bristles get wet it actually exposes the
glue so you want to make sure you're
pointing it down okay you want to use a
great brush shampoo and conditioner
that'll really clean it you want to keep
sudsing that up until the suds run clear
so until they're quite long it can be a
long time so a lot of people will just
do that one pass they'll get off that
first layer of dirt but they're not
getting down into it so my favorite
thing with that is when you go and then
you realize what color your brush
actually is yeah so white white brushes
should return to almost white yeah just
so you guys know they that's how they're
clean so you can use something like this
little mitt or one of those mats to help
you kind of get in there I'm drying it
we just lay it down it you lay it flat
okay I'm if you lay it up like this the
water's gonna get into the bristles and
into the glue that's holding it all
together right okay I could fall apart
on you all right let's talk about
brushes other things that you should
wash yes so you shouldn't just be
washing your makeup brushes your hair
brushes your combs
your toothbrush all these things can be
washed and I would say probably
quarterly just totally because you
should to wash your hair brush you can
just soak it in one part apple cider
vinegar too
parts warm water you can actually wash
your toothbrush if you put that in
hydrogen peroxide baking soda so you can
you can really sanitize all of these
items but you just want to make sure
you're keeping track of them because a
lot of people will let that go for years
without without thinking about cleaning
them and then we shouldn't just clean
out our bag we should actually cleaner
bag right so we're gonna clean out our
bag by looking for expired products a
lot of people don't know where you look
for an expiration date on a makeup
product it's actually on the back it's
right here I don't know if Spencer can
get in there's a larger CG picture that
we can show it just looks like a little
open container and it has a 12 M or a 6
M or an 8 M on it okay and that is on
every beauty product you of a notice
from the data you open it that's how
many months you have to use it right I
mean so that's on almost all makeup
products and all skin care products
interests women so as you're cleaning
out your bag you've emptied your makeup
bag out make sure you're cleaning out
the bag itself just take one of your
makeup remover wipes and clean out the
bottom of the bag because there's
nothing worse than kind of reaching in
and grabbing something out your bag
getting your hands covered in your
makeup yeah I've had that done okay and
you say to exfoliate at this time of
year right bring in summer are really
big for exfoliating you want to
exfoliate your face too and exfoliate
your body it's gonna help with anti
aging it's gonna help make everything
just look more beautiful if you're
pregnant like some of us it helps you
prevent stretch marks by some of us I
mean me so we have a couple of different
scrubs here you definitely want to try
to do one one a week I would say if not
every couple of days on your face I'm
actually like a habitual exfoliator with
my face it just keeps everything smooth
and clear okay very cool and then the
products that were using yes obviously
very important we're using in the winter
you want to kind of use heavier products
really amoliant and the summer you want
to go really light and you want to go
really heavy on the SPF because your you
want to get it in a lot of your products
because you're getting exposed to the
Sun every time you walk out the door so
from your body lotion to your face
lotion you want to make sure that you're
putting SPF all over okay so if people
