Waking up in the morning and near the make-up mirror doesn't necessarily pose a threat to your health. There is no doubt that after a few weeks of daily use of the makeup brush, it is necessary to clean up before applying makeup. When you clean your makeup brush, not only will you have a better space to deal with it, but you will also reduce the chances of your skin coming into contact with bacteria.
When you clean your makeup brush, the goal is to remove old makeup, dead skin cells and oil, and any dirt that the brush may have gotten on. What remains on the brush is not appetizing to you, but for bacterial dirt, oil, and dead skin cells, the space around the dressing table will be an ideal living environment until it moves to your skin. Unfriendly bacteria can trigger breakouts or worse. When you buy makeup brushes, they often include specific cleaning instructions. Keep these. However, if you lose them, check the manufacturer's list of cleaning recommendations online. Natural hairbrushes often require gentle cleaning to maintain their soft, easy-to-glide texture.
Before you start cleaning the brush, take a closer look at it. Where the bristles attach to the handle is a shaft, usually metal or with protective parts. If you can avoid it, you don't want to wet this part. The glue that holds the hair to the handle weakens over time, triggering the bristles to fall off if the water gets trapped and stays inside this metal part. When cleaning and drying, remember to leave the brush head facing down.
How to clean
The soap or detergent you use to clean should be odorless and mild. Use warm water instead of hot water to moisten the brush. As long as you stay away from the metal area, you can blister the bristles to ensure that all bristles are clean. Do not pull the bristles when they are wet. Carefully reshape hair when it is dry.You can also use tools to clean makeup brushes, such as silicone makeup brush cleaners. For the handle of the brush, you can use alcohol on a sponge or paper towel for external use. Wipe the towel over each part of the handle, including any metal parts. Take a clean, dry paper towel and remove excess alcohol.
To prevent the soft brush from hardening, use a small amount of mild conditioner on the makeup brush and rinse with warm water. Place the brush flat on a paper towel or clean the surface to dry.
The End
Keeping makeup brushes clean doesn't have to be a lengthy task. With the simple steps discussed in this article, you will be able to keep your brush clean and prevent potential breakouts on your face.
