Many people underestimate the importance of cleaning their makeup brushes regularly, and this can have a negative impact on their skin. Over time, brushes accumulate not only makeup but also bacteria, oils and dead skin cells. If these contaminants are not removed, they can lead to skin infections, breakouts and skin irritation.

Dirty brushes can also affect the quality of your makeup. Product residue accumulated on the bristles can cause staining and make the application less uniform, affecting the finish of your makeup. In addition, poorly maintained brushes will wear out more quickly, reducing their lifespan. Cleaning your brushes is essential to prolonging their life and maintaining healthier skin.

How often should I wash my makeup brushes?

Ideally, we recommend washing your makeup brushes after each use. However, we know that this can become a hassle if you wear makeup every day. In this case, try to wash your brushes weekly to limit the build up of bacteria and keep them in good condition.

How do I effectively clean my makeup brushes?

Cleaning your brushes involves a simple process, but it must be done correctly to be effective. Fill a bowl with warm water and mild dish soap. Swirl your brush into the water to dislodge any build up and residue. Our brushes require delicate handling in order to avoid damaging the bristles or causing them to fall out. Be gentle! Then rinse thoroughly with clean water and repeat the process until the rinsing water runs clear. It’s important to use fresh soapy water between each brush to avoid cross-contamination. Once cleaned, let your brushes dry flat.

Finally, hygienic storage keeps your brushes cleaner for longer. Opt for something like our silicone brush case. It protects your brushes from outside bacterial sources present in your makeup bag or on your bathroom counter so they stay fresh until their next use.
