Wonderful, you can do makeup..even better that you can do it with super duper expensive brushes that you treasure beyond belief..hmm, question? How much do you really treasure them and when was the last time those things got a good washing? I mean a real washing? Not just a spritz of brush cleaner here and there, but a good old fashioned water washing? Been some time huh? Well did you know that makeup brushes with buildup makeup on them are at the top of the list for causing bacteria, clogged pores and scratched/ stretched skin?
Old makeup on your brushes that has been left to sit there and collect contains all sorts of things on it from oil, residue, dirt, and even pollution that your face carries throughout the day... In addition, the longer that we let old makeup pile up on our brushes, the stiffer the bristles of the brush become. Therefore, every time you put that brush to your face, you are doing nothing more than scratching the surface of your skin; even if it is lightly. Those scratching motions over time result in loose droopy skin. Scary huh? Well why not break the cycle and save yourself some tears later on in life by whipping out some baby shampoo and water and cleaning your treasured tools. Its simple….
If baby shampoo is soft enough for a baby without irritating that tender and pure skin, then it’s perfect for your brushes as well. Baby shampoo is free of all sorts of surfactants, particles and scents that make it a perfect cleaning agent for your brushes.
Simply wet your brushes by running them under warm water for a few seconds..Pump some baby shampoo in the middle of your palm. Work on your brushes one at a time by lightly turning them in soft circular motions in the shampoo. Doing this will help the brushes to soak up the shampoo where you will instantly start to see buildup makeup color running and cleaning itself off the brush. Every few seconds run the brush under warm water again and repeat the process until the brush is completely sud free and not running color. After wards, rinse each brush under cooler water and lay out some paper tools. Let dry over night. Repeat this process once a week for preserving your bushes as new. Whole process takes no more than 15 minutes depending on how many brushes you have.
Told ya it was simple..
