Clean Machine

Hi guys

I like many I have been guilty of not washing my brushes often enough but since I started to take my skin care routine seriously I started taking my brush cleaning seriously. Now I'm sure there are many things involved in the fact my skin looks better then it ever has but I personally think that regularly cleaning my brushes has helped.

I have in the past purchased Mac Brush Cleaner but at £9.50 a go I now use good old Johnsons baby shampoo that I got from ASDA for £1.

I try to clean my brushes at least once a week, usually on a Sunday, making sure I clean every brush I've used even the mini ones in some of my sets.

Instantly I can feel and see the difference and I love how my Real Techniques stipperling brush becomes as good as new. And this is all you need, a sink, water, baby shampoo and your make up brushes.

I tend to squirt a small amount of baby shampoo into my palm, wet the end of my brush and rub them into the shampoo trying to be as gentle as I can but still making sure they get a good clean. One main tip I have is when cleaning make up brushes try and not get the top of the bristles wet as it can loosen the glue. And no one wants bristles on the face.

I hope you already clean your make up brushes but this is the best way I found to clean mine. Do you have any tips of how you clean your brushes? 

Thanks for reading
