Wiping the mirror inside your makeup powder compact once a week is surprisingly important for preventing skin trouble.

Are there any of you who are meticulous about your skincare routine and change your cushion puffs frequently, yet strangely get tiny bumps or itching around your cheeks after just touching up your makeup during the day? I was baffled for a while too, but I realized the cause could be makeup powder and oil from my hands getting tangled up and left on the surface of the compact mirror I carry in my makeup pouch. I got goosebumps hearing that germs on the mirror transfer directly to your face via the puff or your hands, so I’ve made it a routine to thoroughly disinfect my compact mirror and even my vanity mirror with ethanol swabs every night or on weekends. Surprisingly, since I started this habit, the small breakouts that used to appear after touch-ups have completely disappeared.
