When washing your face, always wash your hands first â?? this prevents bacteria transferring to your skin.

If you are having trouble taming those brows, hereâ??s another little trick. Take a toothbrush, spray with a little hair spray and then brush your brows. The stickiness of the hair spray will help keep them in place.
