How to Care for Your Makeup Brushes

Proper Care for Long-lasting Brushes
Your makeup brushes are an investment in your beauty routine, and taking proper care of them ensures they last longer and perform at their best. Follow these easy steps to maintain your brushes and keep them in top condition:

  1. Clean Regularly:
    It's essential to clean your brushes at least once a week to prevent product buildup and bacteria growth. Use a gentle brush cleaner or mild soap and lukewarm water. Swirl the bristles in the solution, avoiding getting water on the handle or ferrule.

  2. Rinse and Reshape:
    After washing, thoroughly rinse the bristles with clean water. Gently squeeze out excess water and reshape the bristles with your fingers to maintain their original form.

  3. Air Dry Properly:
    Lay your brushes flat on a clean towel to dry. Never dry them upright as water can seep into the handle, loosening the glue that holds the bristles together. Let them air dry completely before using them again.

  4. Storage:
    Store your brushes in a clean, dry place. Avoid keeping them in damp environments like the bathroom. Use a brush holder or case to protect the bristles from dust and damage.

  5. Avoid Harsh Products:
    Do not use harsh cleaning chemicals or hot water, as they can damage the bristles. Stick to gentle, brush-specific cleaners to preserve the softness and flexibility of the bristles.
