How to clean Make-up brushes - Handy Tips

Hygiene is a must when it comes to make-up care. It is important to wash your make-up brushes regularly especially if you use them daily, you should wash them every 4-6 weeks.This will not only stop bacteria from breeding but also keep your brushes well conditioned and soft.

After cleaning always reshape brushes and lay them flat on a small towel to dry for at least 8 hours or preferably overnight.

You can clean your brushes using a professional brush cleanser or a more cost effective way is to use a mild baby shampoo or mild facial cleanser and mild antiseptic solution.

Here are a few helpful tips:

  • If using a brush cleanser- dab some cleanser onto a paper towel and sweep your brush through it several times as though you are painting.
    The advantage of using a brush cleanser is that the brushes will dry much more quickly - great if you need to use them soon after cleaning.
  • If using a mild shampoo or cleanser dilute it and gently clean your brushes using tepid water.
  • Instead of using an antiseptic solution you can dilute 2 parts water to 1 part vinegar and then rinse with tepid water.
  • Never soak brushes or wet handles - this could cause wooden handles to swell and or bristles to fall out.
  • Never use a hair dryer to dry your brushes this will damage the bristles.
