Your number one item on your to-do list is not likely to be washing your make-up brushes, and neither are other beauty chores, like clearing out your make-up bag. But experts recommend a fortnightly routine to clean your make-up brushes to get rid of all the germs, dirt and other nasties that get clogged up in your brushes.
Your blusher brush, foundation brush or sponge, eye shadow and lip brushes need washing regularly with a mild shampoo. Leave your brushes to soak in a sink full of water and a little shampoo for approx two minutes and then gently rub the bristles, taking care not to scrub them. Most make-up brushes are fragile, so handle them carefully. Then squeeze the excess water down the brush. Then empty the water from the sink and refill, leaving the brushes to soak for a further 30 mins.
Pat the brushes/applicators dry with a towel, and leave them to air dry, without rubbing them.
Start this new beauty routine today, keeping your make-up brushes and applicators clean and hygienic and it just might make a difference to your skin!
