How to clean makeup brushes--a makeup tip from Purely by Nature™

Keeping your makeup brushes clean is vitally important. Why you may ask?

First off, a clean brush applies makeup much better than a dirty one. And we all want to look our best!

Secondly (and more importantly), filthy brushes can scratch your face, causing minute tears in the skin...where bacteria and dirt can enter causing acne, redness and infection. Plus it's just plain uncomfortable to apply with a dirty brush.



Cleaning a brush is very simple.

1. Thoroughly wet it with warm water.
2. Use a little shampoo (I prefer baby shampoo but any will work), gently working it into a lather.
3. Rinse under warm running water. You will see the old makeup mixing with the water as it rinses.
4. Continue until the water runs clear.
5. Squeeze dry GENTLY with a towel and form the brush as you would like.
6. Allow to air-dry.

If possible, hang it or tilt it downward (with bristles down) to ensure all water drips out as it dries rather then pools in the metal part of the brush.

You're done and your makeup will apply SO much better next time.
