Is it ok to use hydrogen peroxide from the beauty store to wipe lipsticks after use? What else can I use it for??

Well, I think that when you wipe your lipstick, you are already removing a thin layer of product, which make the peroxide unnecessary. I don't have experience with this, but adding peroxide may change your lipstick color/smell/texture, no?

Hmm Malu, you have a point! But sometimes I use the lipstick on my friends and I fear contamination of herpes virus, simple wiping won't sanitise them right?

Get a 91 percent or higher of alchool and put it in a spray bottel and spray it on your makeup products and then let them air dry

Beauty So Clean makes sanitizing wipes and sprays, but 99.9% isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle works as well. I would use that over hydrogen peroxide because it evaporates fast and probably kills more germs.
