TIPS & BENEFITS OF CLEANING YOUR MAKEUP BRUSHES

Makeup brushes are essential tools in our beauty routines. They help us apply foundation, eyeshadow, blush, and other makeup products flawlessly.

However, to maintain optimal hygiene and performance for flawless makeup application, it's crucial to properly care for and clean your makeup brushes regularly.

Here are some tips to help you care for and clean your makeup brushes effectively:

1. Wash Your Makeup Brushes Regularly

Makeup tools that directly touch facial skin, like makeup brushes, should be cleaned regularly. Dirty brushes can clog pores and cause acne, or even cause allergic reactions.

2. Use Special Soap or Baby Shampoo

Special soap designed for cleaning makeup brushes is formulated to effectively clean the brush bristles while maintaining their softness. However, if you don't have any, you can use baby shampoo as an alternative.

3. Best Way To Wash It

When washing, be careful not to wet the ferrule or the area where the bristles attach to the handle. Simply wash the bristles with gentle circular motions until they foam. Then rinse with running water until clean.

Furthermore, it's important to avoid washing makeup brushes made from natural hair with hot water, beauty lovers!

Meanwhile, for the brush handle, you can wipe it with a clean cloth or tissue.

4. Add Olive Oil

For makeup brushes made of natural hair, you can add a drop of olive oil to maintain their softness.

5. Dry Makeup Brushes Correctly 

After washing, air-dry your makeup brushes completely before storing them to prevent odor and mold growth.

Simply air-dry them with the bristles facing down. This is important to prevent water from reaching the base and damaging the glue that holds the bristles in place.

6. Store Properly

In addition to washing, proper storage is essential for maintaining the quality and cleanliness of makeup brushes. Always store clean makeup brushes in a closed container to protect them from dust.

You can also use brush nets to maintain the brush shape and prevent friction.
