Newsflash: You use your hands for almost everything you do, picking up lots of potentially harmful germs and bacteria along the way. You also touch your face a lot — probably more than you realise. Unfortunately, that can be especially hard to avoid when you're doing your skincare routine in the morning, applying your makeup, and washing your face at the end of every day. At a time like this, when we're all becoming hyperaware of these behaviours, finding products that make it a little easier to curb a habit that's sometimes second nature to all of us is key — and luckily, there is a way. Read ahead to check out a few of the most sanitary tools you can try if you're looking for a hands-free (or as hands-free as you can make it) approach to applying your makeup and skincare products. Foreo Luna Play Plus Image Source: sephora.com The Foreo Luna Play Plus ($49) is a fully waterproof facial cleansing device that lifts dirt and removes makeup while also focusing on dullness and uneven texture. It's made out of silicone (vs. bristles), which means it won't harbour bacteria that you then transfer to your face.
