HOW TO: deep clean your makeup brushes.

Deep cleaning your brushes is so important.

 It is the foundation of good skin care. If you don't clean your brushes dirt and bacteria will build up and each time you use your brushes the dirt will transfer onto your face. This will lead to break outs and will make applying your makeup up a difficult task. 

I clean the heavy dirt of my brushes after every makeup application by simply just rubbing them in circular motions on some tissue paper. 

Lately I have been using the P.s I love you Brush Cleaner to cleaning my eye brushes between uses & I find it very good. But you still have to deep clean them every so often.

I find it prolongs the Deep cleaning process. 

I am so bad at deep cleaning my brushes but I try my best to clean them at the end of every month.

What you will need

1)Any mild shampoo or baby shampoo.

2)Latex gloves the tighter the better, the ones I used where far to big for me which made it more difficult.

3)Tea tree oil, (this is optional) but I like to add a few drops in because its a natural antibacterial oil which will not only prevent spots, but will get rid of any bacteria on the brushes. 
4) Warm water.
5) Clean towel.


How to:

1) Fill your sink/basin with warm water.

2) Add a drop of tea tree oil into the water, mix.

3)Pour a tiny drop of baby shampoo into your hand which you have the latex glove on.

4) Swirl your brush head into the warm water. (Try avoid the metal and the handle. Just get the hairs of the brush wet.)

5) Then swirl your brush around in your glove. 

6) Rinse under the tap, make sure the water is warm but not hot.

7) Dry the brushes of using your towel.

8) Repeat for each brush, change the water as needed.

9) Lay your brush of to dry like the picture below. 

Do this so the water doesn't get into the handle of the brush. If the water got into the handle then the brush hairs would loosen.

 

I usually leave mine sitting over night in my real techniques brush hold like in the picture above.

Id recDeep clean your brushes after applying your makeup or on a day which you wont need to use them because they take a few hours to dry out.
