Why is it that we always wake up with a big, shiny spot on the days we have social plans? Well, women say they’ve finally found a solution to their skincare woes and it's easier than you think.
In a bid to tackle pesky blemishes, we often turn to spot treatments, cleansers or even toothpaste. But what if we told you that the answer could have been in your makeup bag all along?
Shoppers are rushing to buy a ‘miracle’ accessory to help clear up spot-prone skin and it comes as part of an incredible Skin Reset Bundle. With hundreds of five-star reviews, the £4.50 product in question has even been credited for preventing acne - and it’s selling fast.
"So glad I took the plunge and bought this after seeing it all over my TikTok 'for you' page!" one shopper wrote. "It has definitely saved me time and effort cleaning my brushes. I now don’t have an excuse for not doing it. And my skin already seams healthier and clearer."
Another customer agreed, as they added: "Absolute game changer! I am guilty of hardly ever cleaning my makeup brushes because it’s such a long, tedious job! Well, no more, this stuff is absolutely insane! I actually enjoyed cleaning every single brush and it took minutes. It was so satisfying my brushes look brand new and they were gross to be honest! So affordable and it actually works! Love love love!!!!"
A third simply wrote, "Love this cleaner so much. A little goes a long way and it cleans make up brushes thoroughly, meaning my skin is kept clear and clean too. Thoroughly recommend."
Is your makeup brush causing spots?
According to ISOCLEAN, no matter how much time, effort, and money you pour into your 10-step skincare routine - unsanitary makeup brushes can still compromise your complexion. That's because dirty brushes accumulate pigments, liquids, oils, and dead skin cells over time which can reintroduce acne-causing germs to the skin with every makeup application.
Breakouts can be caused by lots of different factors, from lifestyle and hormones to genetics so it's important to figure out what kind of acne you have first and if you're unsure, it's recommended that you speak to a GP or dermatologist.
If it's hormonal, spots will like appear as whiteheads or cysts. Breakouts will usually follow a pattern, for instance becoming worse before menstruation, and will show up on tell-tale hormonal places such as the chin, jawline or lower face.
In comparison, bacterial acne can appear anywhere, but is likely found on the face, back, or chest and oily areas such as the forehead, cheeks, or nose. It tends to be sore, red, and more consistent.
Cleaning your makeup brushes will help to reduce the chances of bacterial acne. According to recent research conducted by ISOCLEAN, makeup is the leading cause of acne in 65% of cases, due to the spread of bacteria.
“Makeup brushes may actually be contributing to your acne as your makeup brushes can accumulate excess oil, dirt and debris and can become a breeding ground for bacteria, fungus and more,” Dr Marisa Garshick MD FAAD explains. In fact, one study conducted by ISOCLEAN indicated that out of 12 makeup brushes tested, 11 were dirtier than your average toilet seat. Yikes.
