We all know that regularly cleaning your makeup brushes is a good habit since germs and bacteria really love accumulating within the bristles.

    Does it have to be Listerine or can it be another brand?

      I'm thinking probably name brand Listerine because of the high germ killing effects. 🤷🏼‍♀️ My assumption is the high alcohol content works as an antiseptic.

    Yes. .I did on my toe, it turn black and it took about a month to turn back.
