TIPS FOR EFFECTIVELY MAINTAINING YOUR MAKEUP BRUSHES AND SPONGES

Without overstating their importance, your makeup brushes and sponges are the essential tools you utilize during your makeup routine to achieve a glamorous look. These tools come in various sizes to cater to different needs.

Due to frequent usage, it's inevitable that our makeup brushes and sponges will accumulate dirt. This doesn't necessarily imply that they are carelessly left on the floor, but it underscores the importance of cleaning them regularly due to the makeup residue they accumulate. When makeup products linger on brushes and sponges for extended periods, they become a breeding ground for germs. Using them with germs present can lead to skin breakouts.

Hence, this raises the question: How can I effectively maintain my makeup brushes and sponges? You can achieve this by following the steps below. I typically recommend washing them at least once a week.

Items required: lukewarm water and shampoo

STEPS FOR CLEANING YOUR BRUSHES AND SPONGES

1. Submerge your sponges in lukewarm water for approximately 10 minutes. Next, add shampoo and gently squeeze to eliminate dirt. Repeat these steps until the water runs clear.

2. If you have access to a tap, turn on lukewarm water and rinse the bristles of your brush. Otherwise, prepare lukewarm water in a bowl and gently dab the tip of the brush to rinse. Avoid soaking the entire brush in water, as it may compromise the glue holding the bristles together.

3. Apply shampoo to the bristles of the brush and gently massage to remove dirt. Alternatively, add shampoo to the lukewarm water in the bowl and gently swirl the tip of the brush in the mixture. Repeat this process for each brush until the water in the tap or bowl is clear.

4. Utilize a paper towel or any towel of your preference to gently press and remove excess water from both your brushes and sponges.

5. Allow all your sponges to air dry on a flat surface, and ensure your brushes are hung upside down to prevent water from entering the brush handle.

By following the aforementioned steps, you can bid farewell to germs. Remember to perform this routine regularly and refrain from sharing your makeup brushes and sponges with others.
