Dr. Xavier created Sigma with her husband with a unique background. Having received a Ph.D. molecular bacteriology and infectious diseases and a masters in veterinary pathology, she knows a thing or two about how bacteria spreads — something we need to heed now more than ever. We are huge fans of Sigma brushes and chances are you've seen the brand's incredible cleansing mats and gloves. Dr. Xavier explains exactly how to make a disinfecting spray at home, why diluting your alcohol mixtures to 70% is crucial to their effectiveness and how Sigma brushes are built to outlast their competitors.</p><p><br></p><p>What's on Your Face</p><p><a href=\"https://shop.beautystat.com/products/universal-c-eye-perfector.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BeautyStat Universal C Eye Perfector</strong></a><strong>, $65</strong></p><p><a href=\"https://www.lovemasami.com/products/mekabu-shampoo\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Masami Mekabu Shampoo &amp; Conditioner</strong></a><strong>, $38</strong></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://shopstyle.it/l/biTz1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Sigma F80 Brush</strong></a><strong>, $25 (Sara's favorite)</strong></p><p><a href=\"https://shopstyle.it/l/biTz4\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Sigma 4DHD Precision Brush</strong></a><strong>, $20 (Kirbie's favorite)</strong></p><p><a href=\"https://shopstyle.it/l/biTy6\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Sigma Spa Express Brush Cleansing Mat</strong></a><strong>, $24</strong></p><p><a href=\"https://shopstyle.it/l/biTy8\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Sigma 2X Spa Brush Cleansing Glove</strong></a><strong>, $39</strong></p><p><a href=\"https://shopstyle.it/l/biTz8\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>SigMagic Brushampoo Liquid</strong></a><strong>, $19</strong></p>","author_name":"Kirbie Johnson and Sara Tan"}
