Lay your face For some, sticking to their daily makeup regimen during the pandemic is a thing of the past, while for others it has helped create a better sense of normalcy. However, with every stroke of the primer brush or the movement of the lipstick, there is a risk of smudging a fabric mask.
As face masks become more and more part of our everyday wardrobe, they have gradually evolved from a functional accessory to a fashion accessory. While there are many versions of fabric that can be found in supermarkets and discount stores for as little as $ 3, there are designer masks from Off-White and Dsquared2 that can cost up to $ 100. Regardless of your choice, all face masks need to be cleaned regularly, and that includes makeup removal.
Because cloth masks are made from a wide variety of fabrics, there can be risks associated with any cleaning process. However, since most do not include labels stating the type of fabric and washing instructions, these mask cleaning tips won't damage the materials.

Do not confuse removing makeup from your mask with general cleansing methods recommended by the Centers for Disease Control. Removing makeup is an additional step, not a replacement. According to the CDC , fabric covers should be machine washed after each use with detergent or by hand with a solution of disinfectant bleach and room temperature water. So don't forget to follow the general cleaning guidelines.
Here are some quick, easy, and inexpensive tips to help you get your job done. So go ahead and put on your best face.
Oil-based makeup
Carefully remove the embedded makeup with a knife or dab damp spots with a tissue or cotton ball. Since many liquid and powder foundations are oil based, they respond well to degreaser dish detergents, which cost pennies per use. Just pour a small amount on the stain and work gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Then rinse it off with cold water. For stubborn stains, mix two thirds of the detergent with one third of hydrogen peroxide and apply the stain with a toothbrush.

Oil-free makeup
For oil-free makeup, try shaving cream. Persil detergent manufacturers recommend pretreating the stain with shaving cream by rubbing it into the fibers of the fabric to begin lathering and then rinsing it off with cold water. For stubborn stains, try a solution of shaving foam and alcohol.

Powder foundation and blush
To do this, first brush off the excess mask, either oil-based or oil-free. Then mix a small amount of detergent with water and gently work the stain for up to 30 minutes. Then rinse or wash it with your regular cloth.

lipstick
Lipstick can also stain fabric masks, but it can be treated. Lightly spray the stain with hairspray and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then rub the stain with a damp cloth. If that doesn't work, rub the cloth with alcohol, then rinse it off in cold water. Or mix white vinegar and dish soap and gently apply the stain.
Like the idea of using chemical detergents don't you? There is a natural way to do this, according to Dengarden.com, an online destination for home and gardening enthusiasts. First, rub peanut butter into the makeup stain for about 20 minutes - the smooth kind that isn't thick, of course. Then wash with detergent. Or make a paste out of baking soda and water. Rub into the area and let sit for five minutes. Then machine wash with baking soda and detergent.
