The most effective way to wash your makeup brushes

Do you remember when was the last time you washed your makeup brushes? If your answer is negative then it is time for you to run your kit and clean once and for all your work tools. Remember that the bristles of the brushes are usually a focus of bacteria and infections and being in direct contact with the skin, the likelihood of irritations or imperfections will increase considerably if they are dirty.

If you want to leave them shinier than ever, here's what you should do:1. Use a bar soap (can be for clothes). 2. Wet the corresponding brush in a stream of water, taking some care so that it does not fall in the middle of the bristles but on its side (that is, place the brush horizontally). 

3. Once the brush is wet, brush on the soap and then brush it on a textured plastic kitchen glove on the palm. If you prefer, instead of the glove you can give the brush strokes directly in the palm of your hand. 4. Repeat the procedure as many times as necessary, until the water comes out completely clean and there is no trace of makeup product. 5. Let them dry naturally.

If you are in a hurry and cannot give yourself the time to wash them with soap and water, then we recommend that you opt for a special brush cleaner. Keep in mind that this ritual should be done at least once a month if you really want hygiene to prevail in your makeup products.
