How too safely clean hair and faux hair makeup brushes
How to:
- Bar soap is a great place to start.. Massaging your dirty blush or foundation brushes against a sturdy bar of natural soap, like Castile or Zote soap, will work the cleanser deep into the bristles.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and wipe your brush against a paper towel. Tip: Be careful not to get the brush barrel wet, as it will loosen the bristles and cause them to fall out. Give your brushes a final swish in 1 cup of cool water and 1 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide.
- Another way to scrub makeup brushes clean is to use liquid dish soap and a clean sponge.
- Pour a little of the dish soap on top of the sponge and then rub your brush against the surface
- Rinse with lukewarm water, wipe with a towel to remove any leftover debris and lay your brushes flat to dry.
- Olive oil is a great way to not only clean smaller brushes, but also to condition the bristles. In this case, it's okay to submerge your makeup brushes into the oil. Rub them against a sponge and you'll start to see all those caked-up pieces of product come off.
