How to Wash Makeup Brushes

It's crazy how much bacteria can sneak onto your face through your makeup brushes! Washing them at least every two weeks can save your skin from a lot of unneeded germs. Here's how! 

These are not clean... Imagine the bacteria!

What you will need:
-all of your dirty makeup brushes
-shampoo
-conditioner
-2 bowls
-paper towels
-a sink
AND if you want to clean your tweezers..
-tweezers
-rubbing alcohol
-cotton pads



Step One:
Fill the two bowls with shampoo and conditioner respectively. You will only about enough to fill your palm. Keep in mind that you can always add more, but can't put it back into the bottle.

Step Two:
Wet the brushes and place them, hair down, into the bowl of shampoo. 

Step Three:
One by one, wash the brushes in the palm of your hand and run under the water. To save water, shampoo them all before rinsing and rinse them all at once. When they are rinsed, place in the bowl with conditioner.


Do this to save water!!!

Step Four:
Repeat step three with conditioner. 

Step Five:
Once they are all rinsed, set them on a piece of paper towel to dry.



To clean you tweezers..

Step One:
Pour some rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad.


Step Two:
Wipe off all sides of the tweezers, focusing on the ends that come into contact with skin and hair.


Step Three:
Rinse them under the tap and set aside to dry. 


 And voila! Enjoy your clean tools!
