After using the brush, traces of cosmetics remain on the pile - this is a beneficial medium for quick reproduction of microbes. Also on the pile there is dust and small garbage, if the brushes are not in the case. All this, with continuous use of brushes, provokes the appearance of inflammation on the skin. We tell how to clean the brush for makeup.

Than washing brushes

Although for washing a pile, cosmetic companies have long come up with specialized detergents, yet in their use there is no particular need. For brushes from a natural pile, your usual hair shampoo will suit. Features of the appropriate means:

  • Neutral pH: Approximately 5.5
  • Simple composition - no silicones and oils
  • Soft cleansing - it is better to choose a sulfate shampoo

We do not recommend cleaning the brush with soap - in its composition aggressive components that wash off from the surface of a natural hair with a natural protective film. With constant use of soap, the service life of the brush is noticeably reduced. Also do not fit alcohol sprays for cleansing brushes and micellar water. It will be necessary to spend a lot of funds to dissolve cosmetics at the base of the brush, where the pile is densely.

Brushes from synthetic material can be washed by anything - they do not spoil from aggressive sulfates.

How to rinse a pile thoroughly

First, wet the brush in warm water - all the villi should be wary to reveal the hair scales. Apply a drop of shampoo with a pea size on the palm. Bring the brush over the palm of the circular movements, foaming the shampoo and remove the surface contamination. Then pour the shampoo on the brush itself, distribute the means on the pile and set aside the brush to the side so that the shampoo soften the remnants of cosmetics. After 30-40 seconds, rinse the brush manually until the water from flushing the shampoo will become transparent. It is enough to 1-2 minutes to clean one brush.

How to dry brushes

Located a soft well absorbing towel on a flat horizontal surface. Water remaining on the pile will flip on the towel. Technologists are advised to dry up the brushes in a vertical position, putting on them Brashard - a thin mesh, tightening the pile in the right form. Vertical position is preferable that water drops faster in the pile, and not remained at the base of the brush and did not soften glue. Buy a special stand for drying brushes or make it yourself, gluing to a plastic glass elastic rubber band. If you have little time, you can dry the brush with a hairdryer, sending a cold air stream on them. Dry in the direction of the bottom to the ends of the Village, just like driving your hair.
