If you’re anything like me, you use your makeup brushes daily, but fail to clean them as often as you should.
I usually use shampoo to wash them, but last night as I reached in the shower to grab my shampoo to clean these babies, my arm extended past the bottle of Cetaphil, and a little light went off!
Using a gentle facial cleanser to wash your brushes will keep unwanted irritants off your skin. Warm water, cleanser, good rinse – and you’re done!
hey!!! We had the same light bulb turn on in our brains!! Hehe..I came up with the same idea the other day when I was going to use the last bit of my Paul Mitchell shampoo, then thought better of it and decided to use the Cetaphil. Worked like a charm.
good idea! i slack with washing my brushes so much, which is terrible. then i wonder why i get a pimple, hmmmm…
i typically use eye shadow brushes, as i don’t wear tons of make up; generally, i’ve washed them with warm water and a mild hand soap, but the skin wash makes perfect sense!
I’m so terrible at keeping my brushes clean! Thanks for this great tip! :-)
I never thought to use that! I still have the cleanser that came with my Bare Minerals kit. I actually just washed my big brush yesterday :)
