Are you familiar with those little bumps on or around your cheeks? They aren’t big enough to be considered a pimple but large enough to be seen? Yes, those. Annoying aren’t they? They are the result of bacteria in your make-up brushes that you continue to spread with every application. Yuck!
Well I have some good news for you. You can solve that problem by cleaning your blush and powder brushes.
-
Wash your bristles of each brush thoroughly with a anti-bacterial cleanser every 4-7 days. If you ate prone to acne, do it everyday but keep in mind that you will need to replace your brushes often.
-
Allow for brushes to dry completely. This can take up to 24 hours.
-
Get a set of back up brushes and rotate sets when cleaning the other set.
-
Store them on a clean place. Throwing them in your makeup bag or near other brushes isn’t that sanitary. Be aware of where you are storing them to ensure that they stay clean. I recommend a long, single row toothbrush holder. you can place them in alternating holes.
-
Head to your local Sephora or beauty counter to find selections and cleaner.
