1. Gather a mild shampoo or brush cleanser, lukewarm water, clean towel or paper towels and brush cleaning mat (optional).
2. Gently wet the bristles of each brush with lukewarm water, avoiding the ferrule (the metal part connecting the bristles to the handle) to prevent glue damage.
3. Place a small amount of cleanser on your palm or a cleaning mat and swirl the brush in circular motions to remove makeup residue.
4. Rinse the bristles under lukewarm water until all the cleanser and makeup residue is gone.
5. Gently squeeze out excess water with a clean towel or paper towel. Avoid twisting or pulling the bristles.
6. Lay the brushes flat or hang them upside down to dry. This prevents water from seeping into the ferrule and loosening the glue.
7. Maintain your brushes by performing a deep clean once a month, using a specialized brush cleanser.
Important Precautions:
- Don't use a hairdryer or direct sunlight, as heat can damage the bristles.
- Never soak brushes in water for extended periods.
- Be gentle when cleaning to avoid pulling or damaging the bristles.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or strong detergents containing alcohol, as they can damage the bristles.
By following these steps and precautions, you can keep your makeup brushes clean and extend their lifespan while preventing shedding and glue damage.
