Cleaning Make Up Brushes

Make up brushes need regular cleaning to remove dirt, bacteria, dead skin cells and oils that they pick up from daily use. Brushes should be cleaned once a week, it is a simple task only taking a few minutes. Make up applied with dirty brushes doesn't go on as smoothly, and worse still, an unclean brush can transfer bacteria to the face leading to skin break outs & eye infections.

There are products on the market to clean your brushes with, or you can use shampoo or baby wash to clean them.

How to clean make up brushes:

• Run brushes under warm water.

• Squeeze a small amount of shampoo or baby wash onto the brush & gently rub in, making sure the shampoo is well worked in. Be careful not to damage the bristles.

• Rinse well, until the water becomes clear.

• Squeeze out excess water & allow to thoroughly air dry before use.
