Episode #074.
Inside this episode of 5 Minute Face Talk, we are exploring the crucial topic of basic sanitizing within the world of makeup: why 70% isopropyl alcohol beats 99% when it comes to sanitizing your beauty tools and workspace.
And there will be no chemistry degree required!
Learn why that extra bit of water in the 70% solution makes all the difference, making it a far more effective choice for killing germs. Plus, we'll explore when and why you might still need that 99% option in your kit.
Sanitizing is one of the most important aspects of good practice within makeup artistry, so if you want to freshen up your knowledge or perhaps you need some convincing to soften that tie to your old-favorite 99% alcohol and learn why it's definitely not the best choice to keep a clean and sanitized makeup kit, listen on.
