Seven common chemicals you should avoid while trying to make a baby

We swear we’re careful but sometimes stains just inexplicably appear on our clothes.

Once foundation, tan or eye shadow ends up on a white blouse, it’s next to impossible to remove and you end up just avoiding white because it takes far too much effort and time to keep it that shade, particularly when the kids are up to mischief.

However, according to Popsugar, the solution to removing one specific stain, the foundation kind, has been lying in our bathroom cabinets all this time.

The solution is simply to use shaving cream. They advise:

“Turn to shaving cream to remove smears of oil-free foundation from collars, carpets, and bath mats.

“You can also mix in a touch of alcohol if the stain won’t lift with shaving cream alone. After treating the fabric, throw it in the wash to really get that stain out.”

So if you have a pile of washing to get stuck into later today, this tip might come in very handy for the makeup stains that ruin your fave clothes, particularly your summer whites.
