Regularly cleaning our makeup brushes is essential for maintaining healthy skin. We ensure optimal makeup application, and extend the lifespan of our tools.
Preventing Skin Issues: Over time, makeup brushes accumulate bacteria, dead skin cells, oils, and dirt. Using unclean brushes can transfer these impurities back onto your skin, potentially leading to blemishes, irritation, and more severe skin problems.
Enhancing Makeup Application: Dirty brushes can hinder the smooth application of makeup, resulting in a cakey or patchy finish. Clean brushes ensure that products glide on seamlessly, providing a flawless look.
Extending Brush Lifespan: Regular cleaning removes product buildup and oils that can degrade brush bristles over time. Proper maintenance keeps bristles soft and intact, prolonging the usability of your brushes.
Avoiding Cross-Contamination: Using the same brushes for multiple products without cleaning can lead to color mixing and contamination. Regular cleaning prevents this, ensuring that each application is true to the product's intended color and formulation.
Recommended Cleaning Frequency: For personal use, it's advisable to deep clean your makeup brushes at least once a week to prevent product and oil buildup, and a general clogging of the brush bristles.
Cleaning Steps:
Wet the Bristles: Rinse the brush bristles under lukewarm water, avoiding the handle to prevent weakening the glue that holds the bristles.
Apply Cleanser: Use a gentle soap, baby shampoo, or a makeup brush cleanser. Swirl the brush in the cleanser to create a lather.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the bristles under water until it runs clear, ensuring all makeup residue and soap are removed.
Remove Excess Water: Gently squeeze out excess water with a clean towel.
Reshape and Dry: Reshape the bristles and lay the brush flat on a clean towel to dry overnight. Avoid standing brushes upright while drying, as water can seep into the handle and cause damage.
