CLEAN THOSE MAKE UP BRUSHES
Why is it important?
My Very Dirty and Neglected Brushes
Think about everything that collects on your brushes as you use them- make up of course, oil, dead skin cells and dust. Dirty brushes can then attract bacteria. Do we really want to be wiping all of that back onto our face or even transfer it into the make up we use? Cleaning them regularly helps both the brushes and our make up to last longer.
How to clean your make up brushes:
Most recommendations seem to advise weekly cleanings, especially when using liquid make up and/or storing in the open. Clean no less then once a month! Start by rinsing under warm water. When I did this I was surprised that very little make up came off the brush.

| Anew Clean Micellar Cleansing Water |
Because I have it on hand, I like to use Avon's Anew Clean Micellar Cleansing Water to then clean my brushes. I already trust it on my face, so feel confident using it on the brushes that will then be going on my face. You could also use a mild baby shampoo.
Here you can see even though I barely saw anything come off of my brush when I rinsed it under warm water, the cleansing water worked quickly to begin removing all of the build up! Yuck!
After cleansing and another thorough warm water rinse, gently squeeze in a paper towel to remove excess water. It is important that through the cleaning process we do not hold the brushes up straight which could allow water to run into the brush handle and not be able to dry out completely.

Extending brushes over the edge of a table or counter will help them to completely dry!

When do we need new brushes?
- Replace if handles are broken or cracked
- Replace if you are noticing a lot of bristles coming out
- Replace if brushes are not coming clean
- Replace if the brush does not return to its intended shape
