The Wobs brand decided to tell you exactly how to approach cleaning brushes.

Makeup brushes: top tips for proper cleaning

Before you buy makeup brushes , you should remember that they should be cared for regularly. Daily use of dirty makeup brushes can cause rashes, blockages and skin irritation. The more you work with makeup, the more often makeup brushes need cleaning, after which the remains of cosmetics, dirt and sebum disappear from the surface of the brush. If you ignore care, then all this continues to accumulate on the bristles of the tool.

Different types of brushes require different care. Professional makeup brushes for foundation, concealer, or powder should be cleaned after each use. The same rule applies to eye brushes or brushes that you use for different shades.

How to clean makeup brushes and what products should you use? If you should clean the tools after each use for makeup, then you should wash them with special products once a week. However, the frequency of care for the brushes also depends on the texture of the cosmetics you use. So, brushes for liquid products should be washed immediately after applying makeup. If you work in a salon, then you should clean and wash the brushes after each client.

For care, you need to purchase a special mild antibacterial soap or silicone-free baby shampoo. Dishwashing liquid is acceptable only in extreme cases. It removes grease from the brush, but in the long term it can be aggressive for natural bristles.

Here's what makeup brush care should be like in stages:

1. Wash the bone by hand in warm water. Dip each brush individually under running water, then in a bowl of mild shampoo or soap and gently rub with your fingers for a few minutes to create a nice lather.
2. Squeeze out the water. Hold the bones under running water, checking until there is no foam left on the water. Hold for another 2-3 seconds to make sure they are clean. Then, soak the bone in a special napkin or towel.
3. Repeat the procedure if there is still dirt residue on the brush.
4. Dry the bone. Carefully place the clean bones on a silicone mat and wait for them to dry.

In addition, not only the stones, but also the sponges require care. To clean the sponge, you need to leave it in a glass under water for a few minutes. After that, rinse it with clean warm water, blot with a paper towel and repeat the process if there is any dirt left on the sponge.
