Hygiene could be explained to mean a good number of practices adopted for the preservation of health. In my line of business, one of my strongest virtues is personal hygiene especially with my makeup tools. Makeup brushes can breed germs and bacteria and if not properly washed and disinfected it can cause Pimples, Acne, Eczema and other skin related infections.
I use makeup brush sets to apply personal makeup on my face and another instance that I use makeup brushes is professionally on my clients.
In this wise, it cannot be overstated the importance of cleaning the brush set whether it is for personal use or for professional use.
Two methods I use to clean my makeup brushes are:
- I deep clean the brushes (wash with shampoo, water, little olive oil and dry)
- I use a brush cleaner to clean and disinfect them.
There are quite a few makeup Brush Cleaners in the market now, you could contact me for recommendation though. They are affordable and they clean thoroughly, the effect is wonderful as it leaves the brushes free of bacteria and doesn’t cause breakout on my face. The brush cleaner can also be used to sanitize makeup product such as lipsticks, pencils etc
How to Use:
Spray Isopropyl Alcohol directly onto makeup brush and wipe on tissue, and it dries out instantly. You may also pour into a small jar, swirl your brush, and wipe down on a soft towel or tissue paper. Repeat if necessary until completely clean but do not soak in the ferrule.
Leave brush for a few minutes until dry.
