How often should you clean your make-up brushes? We've spoken to two beauty experts to get all the answers.
One of those unbelievable mysteries that just works. No water or soap needed, just swirl your bush in the textured sponge in a circular motion to remove powder pigment from bristles. It makes switching between shades a dream.‘With each use, a make-up brush builds up a collection of product residue, skin cells and excess oil,’ explains Wedgeworth, ‘this combination is not only pore blocking, but can act as an ideal breeding ground for microorganisms like bacteria and fungi.
Using unwashed brushes, therefore, can actually make us more susceptible to skin infections - particularly if there are any areas of broken skin. ‘If you are acne prone you definitely don’t want to be using a dirty brush as the unsavoury combination of old make-up mixed with oil and dead skin cells is highly pore blocking,’ explains Wedgeworth.
‘I get a lot of clients asking me why they suddenly have irritated skin,’ says Potter-Dixon, ‘My answer? “When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes?”According to Wedgeworth, ‘it’s a good idea to get into the habit of cleaning them every 7-10 days.’ Slightly more than 6 months, then... As a professional make-up artist, Potter-Dixon cleans them after every use when using them on other people. ‘For personal use, I try and clean them once a week. If that’s not feasible, even once a month is better than nothing.’found from its research poll that more than two thirds of respondents have previously shared their make-up brushes with another person.
‘Your shampoo is a good starting place as you know you are not sensitive to it and well, it’s great for cleaning hair,’ advises Potter-Dixon. ‘Always double cleanse your brushes and leave to dry naturally on a towel. Heat drying them can melt the glue that holds the bristles in place.’
