Why is it important to clean your brushes regularly?
It is very important to clean your make-up brushes regularly. Many people think that it is not necessary to clean your brushes if you only use them on your own face, but that is not the case. Your face contains skin oil, skin flakes and bacteria. Your make-up brush comes into contact with this and after a while this will accumulate between the hairs of your brushes. This also increases the chance of pimples. And with a dirty brush you cannot apply your make-up as beautifully and flawlessly. If you use a clean brush, the make-up is also absorbed much better by the brush.
How do you clean your makeup brushes?
STEP 1: Hold the brush with the hairs down under the tap with lukewarm water (not hot water!). Make sure that only the hairs get wet. If the wood gets wet it can expand, or the glue that holds the hairs together can come loose, causing hairs to fall out of the brushes.
STEP 2: Apply a small amount of mild (baby) shampoo to the brush cleanser. A pea-sized amount is enough to thoroughly clean your brush.
STEP 3: Clean the brush with stroking movements. Do not push the brushes very hard. This is bad for the hairs, they can become separated.
STEP 4: Rinse your brush clean under the tap, stroking it over the Brush cleanser. Rinse until the water runs clear and the soap is removed from the brush.
STEP 5: Remove excess moisture: Run the brush over the brush cleanser and then squeeze out the excess water with your fingers and pat the brush on the towel again. Once you have removed most of the moisture, it is important to return the hairs to their original shape. This way, the hairs will not stick out in all directions.
STEP 6: Let the brush air dry. Place your brushes upside down at an angle (so that no moisture can seep into the handle) on a rolled up towel and let them dry like this for at least overnight (a larger brush may take longer for the bristles to dry completely). Do not blow dry – this can make your hair frizzy!
Let the brushes dry completely before using them again. They will smell wonderful and feel soft again!
