How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes




Hello my Lovers! I really missed my blogging days! Hope you all are doing fine. Every time of the day I had my blogspot on my mind, believe me. But my day was always full of studying, working and hanging out. Anyway, as you see now I am here to fill the gaps. Let's start with todays' theme post.

I'm sure that every girl, to be more specific, most of female teenagers had tried once to put makeup on her face. Using brushes to apply makeup on our face it's easier and more professional than using our hands for this job. But did you know that you should be cleaning your makeup brushes? I will disclose you the way I do my makeup brushes wash up routine.

Washing your makeup brushes should be a regular part of your beauty routine. When you use your brushes, bits of makeup, oil, dirt, and even bacteria can get trapped in the bristles. So while it might seem basic, skipping this step can lead to clogged pores and pesky breakouts. Not to mention the fact that quality makeup brushes can be expensive. So learning how to properly clean them is one of the best ways to protect your investment.
Luckily, cleaning your makeup brushes is quick and easy. The first step to keeping your brushes clean is picking up a daily brush cleaner and spritzing it on your brushes after each use. Once a week, it’s time for a deep cleaning. (Note that your brushes will need a few hours to dry after a deep cleaning, so I’d recommend washing them after you have applied your makeup that day.)

Here’s the right way to deep clean your makeup brushes…
You will need:
• A shallow bowl
• Gentle clarifying shampoo or baby shampoo
• Your sink
• A lint free cloth

Instructions:
Begin by running your brushes under lukewarm water, rinsing out all of the residual makeup.
Try to focus on the actual bristles while avoiding the part of the brush where handle meets the head, as this can loosen the glue over time
Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and a squirt of shampoo, and gently swirl your brush tip in the water. If you need to, you can also swirl the brush in the palm of your hand to work up a lather.
Rinse the brush tip under running water once again. Repeat steps two and three until the water runs clear from the brush,
Use a cloth to wipe your brush clean, reshaping the bristles as you go.
Lay your brushes flat on a cloth to dry.
And there you have it! Your makeup brushes will be as clean a whistle. It’s also worth mentioning that there are specially formulated brush shampoos on the market. A gentle clarifying or baby shampoo will do the trick just fine though.

Thaaaaaaaaat's all! Hope this post helped you, thats the way I do it. I've tried to be clear and very absolute with my instructions. Tell me your experience! Have a great time and see you all soon!

Best wishes,
Aleksia Mansaku.
