Everyday items like your phone, makeup brushes, and even your bedding can be causing you to breakout. When was the last time you changed your sheets? Bed linens can harbor bacteria, which are more than happy to multiply on your face. Change your pillowcases at least twice a week. That goes for towels, too.
If you're breaking out on your cheeks, your phone could be the culprit. Pressing a phone to your skin can lead to a breakout. Once a week, clean your phone with an alcohol wipe — and if you've been on the phone for more than 15 minutes, it might not be a bad idea to cleanse your face, too.
Lastly, on your list of things to do, washing makeup brushes probably ranks pretty low, but it's a worthy use of your time if acne is a concern. Otherwise, bacteria grows — and dirty brushes will just transfer that bacteria to your face.
