3 Reasons To Clean Your Makeup Brushes At Least Weekly.
1. Dirty makeup brushes can wreak havoc with your skin and can cause much more damage than just a simple breakout or skin irritation. Daily use accumulates sebum, impurities, pollution, dust, product buildup and dead skin cells that can include harmful bacteria like staphylococcus, streptococcus and E. Coli.
I find that brushes for powder products clean easier than those used for cream products, ie. foundation. I usually wash my foundation brush every 2-3 days as it's so much quicker and easier to keep it clean - and I don't get all the product buildup in the process.
2. Want that Flawless Finish? You can have the best makeup brushes in the world, but if they're dirty and full of product buildup you will not get the results you want. Not cleaning your makeup kit regularly affects the quality of your makeup application and blending products. Meanwhile, taking care of your brushes helps with a more flawless application of makeup products. Product buildup can affect the shape of the brush as well as its ability to pick up and lay down pigment, as well as being able to blend properly.
3. An investment in makeup brushes is like investing in a really good set of kitchen knives for cooking, or paint brushes if you’re an artist. Taking care of your tools will help to make them last longer and protect your investment while you keep getting good results.
