Why is it Important to Clean Your Makeup Tools?
Regularly cleaning your makeup brushes and sponges not only extends the life of the tools, but also prevents skin irritation and acne. Makeup residue, sebum and dead skin cells can build up in your brushes and sponges , which can become a breeding ground for bacteria.
Step-by-Step: Cleaning Makeup Brushes
- Choose your Cleaner : Use a special brush cleaner or a mild antibacterial soap.
- Wet : Hold the brushes under lukewarm water to wet the bristles. Be careful to only wet the bristles and not the handle.
- Cleansing : Apply a drop of soap to the palm of your hand or to a brush cleansing mat and gently rub the brush into the soap using circular motions.
- Rinsing : Rinse the brush thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear.
- Repeat: If necessary.
- Drying : Gently squeeze excess water from the brush and shape the bristles back into their original shape. Let the brushes air dry flat on a towel or with the bristles facing down in a brush drying rack. Never let your wet brushes dry with the bristles facing up. This can cause water to get to the glue, causing your brush to come loose.
How to Clean Makeup Sponges?
- Preparation : Wet the sponge under warm water until it is completely saturated.
- Cleanse : Apply a mild soap or beauty blender cleanser to the sponge. Gently massage the sponge to loosen the dirt.
- Rinsing : Rinse the sponge under warm running water. Squeeze the sponge while rinsing to remove all soap and dirt.
- Repeat : Repeat until the water runs clear and all makeup has been washed out of your sponge.
- Drying : Squeeze excess water from the sponge and let it air dry on a clean towel.
Tips for Maintaining Your Makeup Tools
