Makeup Brush Cleaner Recipe
Enjoy cleaner makeup brushes with this simple cleaning method. It works great!
Servings: 1 solution
Ingredients
- Warm water
- Castile Soap scented or unscented as you prefer
- Towel
Instructions
- Combine a teaspoon of soap with 1/4 cup of water in a small bowl (warm water works best)
- Swirl the brush tip in the soap while pressing on the sides of the bowl until the makeup debris comes off, then rinse under cool water.
- Repeat step 2 until the water runs clear.
- Pat dry bristles, making sure they still keep their shape and place them on a towel to dry.
- In my experience, leaving makeup brushes to dry for at least 12 hours is worthwhile (have you ever tried applying makeup with a wet brush? It’s grim!)
Notes
- In my experience, leaving makeup brushes to dry for at least 12 hours is worthwhile (have you ever tried applying makeup with a wet brush? Gross!).
- It's important to keep the bases of your makeup brushes out of the water when cleaning. Dip the bristles in the water, avoiding the handle and base.
- Try, if you can, to get into a habit of cleaning makeup brushes once a week. This will really help your brushes last that much longer and prevent your skin from being irritated by crusty makeup debris.
- This is a one-time use cleaning solution - so once you’ve cleaned your brushes, throw it out.
