Cleaning your makeup brushes sounds like a daunting task and you are not wrong – it actually is. Still no matter how boring this sound, cleaning your makeup brushes on a regular basis is extremely important.
Not only can dirty makeup brushes make it very hard to apply makeup, but they can also cause breakouts, irritate your skin, and create all sorts of skin problems.
How often we need to wash them depends on how much we actually use them, but experts do suggest it’s best to clean them a couple of times a month.
So how do you clean makeup brushes? Soaking them in a cup of water doesn’t sound like a great plan, right? You can use soap, a gentle face cleanser or baby shampoo but if you’re not up to experimenting, there are plenty of makeup brush cleansers on the market you can choose from.
