Keep your skin healthy: how to clean makeup brushes properly
Makeup brushes are an indispensable tool for creating the perfect makeup look. They allow you to evenly distribute cosmetics on the skin, creating a natural and expressive look.
However, in order for the brushes to serve for a long time and retain their properties, they must be washed regularly. Telegraf writes about this.
Why is it important to wash makeup brushes?
During use, brushes come into contact with skin, cosmetics, and the environment. Dust, sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria accumulate on their surface. These contaminants can negatively affect the skin, causing inflammation, acne, and other problems. In addition, dirty brushes can degrade the quality of makeup, creating an uneven tone.
How often should I wash my makeup brushes?
The frequency of brush washing depends on how often you use your makeup. If you apply makeup every day, you should wash your brushes at least twice a week. If you use makeup less often, you can wash your brushes once a week or even once every two weeks.
How do I wash my makeup brushes?
There are several ways to wash makeup brushes. One of the easiest ways is to use regular soap or hair shampoo. You will need:
- A deep bowl or soap dish
- Soap or hair shampoo
- Water.
- Fill a bowl or soap dish with warm water.
- Add some soap or shampoo to the water.
- Dip the brushes in the water and start to massage them gently.
- Rinse the brushes under running water.
- Let the brushes dry naturally by placing them on a towel or a special brush stand.
If you use waterproof cosmetics, you can use a special brush cleaner to clean your brushes. Such products are more effective at removing waterproof dirt.
To ensure that your brushes serve you for a long time, follow these rules:
- Do not wash brushes in hot water, as this can damage them.
