How to Deep Clean Make-up Brushes


 
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.
