How to clean your mascara wand with micellar water

When it comes to makeup mishaps, clumpy mascara is one of the worst. One day, your mascara applies flawlessly, and the next time you pull the wand from the tube, it leaves globs of goop on your lashes. At one time or another, we've all attempted to brush through the clumps, but the end result often requires a cotton swab and makeup remover.

If you're thinking about tossing your mascara because the wand keeps clumping up, don't. There might be an easy fix right on your counter. Micellar water, aka cleansing water, does more than just remove your makeup. It does an excellent job of deep cleaning your mascara wand. Watch this quick tutorial to see how to clean your wand in seconds.

Materials
- Micellar water (Garnier SkinActive)
- Paper towel or cleansing square
- Mascara​

Instructions
1. Saturate a paper towel or thick cleansing square with micellar water.

2. Squeeze the saturated cloth against the head of the mascara wand, then lightly drag the wand over the cloth to remove excess mascara. Repeat as needed until the wand is clean.

3. Allow the wand to dry for at least 60 seconds, then reinsert it into the mascara tube.

4. Apply mascara as usual.

Now, that's a hack worth trying! Stay pretty!
