Cosmetic brushes are divided into animal hair and man-made synthetic fibers according to their materials. When cleaning cosmetic brushes, the method and frequency of cleaning need to be determined according to the material of the brush. Inadequate cleaning not only affects the feeling of use but also easily breeds bacteria. Too frequent cleaning will affect the service life of makeup brushes. Regardless of whether it is artificial hair or animal hair, there will be a small amount of broken hairs and dye residues that are not cleaned during the production process of the brush, and it will inevitably be contaminated with dust during the sales and transportation process. Clean it before using it. You can use mild water to wash off these dirty things that are not good for skin health and affect the feel of the brush.

Man-made fiber brush cleaning points

(1) The foundation brush made of artificial fur needs to be cleaned every two or three times of use.

(2) For relatively dense makeup brushes, it is recommended to use a scrubbing tool to clean them. The texture on them will help dissolve the residue deep in the bristles. You can choose from several scrubbing tools, such as scrubbing eggs or scrubbing pads.

Animal hair brush cleaning precautions

(1) Do not use alcohol-containing detergents. (It will fry and break the hair)

(2) Do not wash with silicon-containing shampoo. (There will be residues that will affect the powder-holding power)

(3) Do not touch anything that is too alkaline (it will destroy the structure of animal hair).

(4) Do not often use hair conditioner and other things to care for animal hair brushes, as the residue will seriously affect the powder-holding power of the bristles.

(5) The oil secreted by the human body is the best skin care product for animal hair, so animal hair brushes are more comfortable to use, and the cleaning of brushes should not be too frequent.

(6) After each use, use paper towels, cotton pads or prepare a piece of dry-cleaning sponge, rub it back and forth on it, and gently rub it along the direction of use of the bristles~ and dry-clean regularly, you can use it with a special disposable makeup brush Scrub.

(7) The frequency of washing is about once a month if you use it every day, once every two days, once every two months, and so on.

Cleaning method

Dry cleaning: dry cleaning is convenient and can reduce the number of times of water, but it is not as clean as washing with water. All the brushes used to apply powder makeup can be dry cleaned, such as loose powder brushes, blush brushes, contour brushes, highlighter brushes, eye shadow brushes, etc., on a cotton pad or dry cleaning sponge, gently rub back and forth along the direction of the bristles , just wipe off the makeup powder.

Washable: The brushes used to apply liquid and cream makeup can only be washed with water, such as foundation brushes.

Washing step

Take 400ml of warm water (too cold or too hot will cause damage to the bristles), add 20ml of cleaning solution, mix evenly, stir the brush head in the mixture, soak the bristles, and gently circle in the palm of your hand, repeat several times until the remaining makeup is removed Clean up. Finally rinse off with running water. If you feel that the palm is not convenient, you can use scrubbing eggs or scrubbing pads as scrubbing tools. Pour an appropriate amount of mild cleaning agent such as makeup brush special cleaning agent or Johnson’s baby shampoo on the brushing tool. After the bristles are soaked, gently circle along the direction of use of the bristles to make foam and clean the brush. Finally, rinse with running water.

Cleaning and drying points

(1) The whole process of washing with water must ensure that the brush head is downward and the water flow is from top to bottom to prevent the water from flowing to the bottom of the bristles, otherwise it will be easy to open the glue, and even the wood of the brush handle will crack.

(2) After the brush is washed, dry the water with a clean towel or tissue. It is best to put on the brush cover (note that it must be put on from the brush handle to the direction of the brush head) to shape the bristles to prevent the hair from frying after drying. , Remember to choose different sizes of brush nets according to the size of the brush.

(3) After the brush is cleaned, the bristles are smoothed out, and the brush head is vertically inserted into the slot of the drying rack, and then put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry, and wait for it to dry naturally.

Makeup brush care and storage

Usually put the brush, we still suggest to put it in the pen holder, brush barrel, which is open, which is convenient for ventilation. At the same time, in order to prevent dust, it can be placed with a net cover, which is also better to protect the brush shape. Wool brushes may have a wooly smell when you receive them. You can wash them with lavender-flavored gold spinning softener in an appropriate amount. But it is better not to use this kind of softener, which will affect the powder-holding power of animal hair. When going out, it is recommended to use the EVA portable bag to hold the makeup brush, so that the eye shadow brush can also protect the hair shape well. Do not let the brush stick to cosmetics for a long time, the chemical composition of cosmetics will damage the makeup brush.
