To take care of makeup brushes, it’s important to regularly clean them to remove any built-up makeup, oils, and bacteria. Here are some basic steps for cleaning your brushes:
- Wet the bristles of the brush with warm water.
- Apply a small amount of mild, brush-specific shampoo or soap to the bristles.
- Gently massage the bristles, being careful not to damage the shape of the brush.
- Rinse the bristles thoroughly with warm water, making sure to remove all traces of soap or shampoo.
- Gently squeeze out any excess water and reshape the bristles.
- Lay the brush flat or with the bristles hanging over the edge of a counter to dry.
It is also recommended to clean your makeup brushes at least once a week and to sanitize them with alcohol every 3 months.
