Make-up Tip: How to Properly Clean Your Makeup Brushes!
Dirty makeup brushes can hold onto old product, oil, and bacteria, which affects your makeup application and your skin. Here is my tried-and-tested method to get your brushes squeaky clean, ultra-soft, and smelling fresh!
Step-by-Step Brush Care:
Moisten: Wet your brushes with tepid water, then gently squeeze out the excess water.
Wash: Dip the brush heads into a small amount of gentle liquid laundry wash designed for woollens or delicates.
Lather & Deep Clean: Work up a rich lather by rubbing the bristles in gentle circular motions. Squeeze out the lather and reapply a small bit of gentle wash as needed until the water runs completely clear and the bristles are clean.
Rinse & Blot: Rinse thoroughly with tepid water until all soap is gone. Blot well on an absorbent cloth, such as a clean old towel.
Dry: You can either blow-dry them using a hair dryer on a warm setting (never hot) or leave them flat to air-dry. Air-drying can take between 24 to 48 hours depending on how thick the brush is.
Once dry, your brushes will feel beautifully soft, fluffy, and smell amazingly fresh! 🌸
