One thing I really hate to do is clean my
make-up brushes, but unfortunately it is a must. Every time you use a make-up brush
you are picking up bacteria on your face, which is then left to fester on the
brush after use. Therefore, the next time you pick up this brush to use the
bacteria that has been left to fester is going to be applied to your face when
you go to use the brush. Disgusting isn’t it? It’s a vicious cycle and it will
make you break out, unless of course you clean your brushes. Obviously brushes
that are predominantly used for eyeshadow will not be a problem and can be
washed every few weeks. However ones that are used on a regular basis for face
products should be washed regularly, such as foundation brushes. If you suffer
from acne or problematic skin, try washing your brushes more than normal and
see if you notice an improvement.
1. Gather up all your dirty brushes to be cleaned.
2.
Dampen all the brush
bristles with lukewarm water.
3.
Pump your cleaning
product of choice into the palm of your hand (I just use hand wash that is
already by the sink- the antibacterial properties will help clean away all the
nastiness that has accumulated in your brush)
4.
Start swirling your
brush in the cleaning product in the palm of your hand, allowing the product to
lather up in the brush. Rinse underneath a tap.
5.
Squeeze out the excess
product and watch all the makeup that has accumulated wash out of your brush.
6.
Repeat if necessary.
