THE BRUSHES MUST BE CLEANED
(and other items)
and that's what I did today.
Get some alcohol
this kind not the drinking kind although if you wanna drink and clean brushes I don't see why notI got baby shampoo because its gentle and it cleans. I forgot about Dr. Bronner's for a brief moment and went with this stuff.
I let the brushes soak in the water for a few minutes and then rinsed them, but decided that wasn't the best way to go as rinsing them used a lot of water.
I put some soap in my hand dabbed each brush through the soap as if it were make up I was about to use. I gently lathered the brushes in an effort to NOT lose bristles. Then I rinsed them under a small trickle of water until the water was clear.
After the cleansing it was time to disinfect them and that's where the alcohol came in.
30 second dips in the alcohol. I mixed in a little bit of water.
wipe dry on paper towel
These tools were interesting to clean
I ended up dipping the brushes in the alcohol and the sponge was soaked in a water/alcohol mix.
I rinsed them out with water one last time and then lay them out to dry.
Cleaning brushes is important because it takes off all make up that will build up on and hinder the performance of the brushes. It keeps germs from spreading from face to face. It minimizes facial oil and bacteria from getting into the make up-which should also be sprayed with alcohol; A LIGHT SPRITZ-I didn't get around to that today. If you don't clean the brushes the germs will just continue to multiply happily on the bristles.
