It’s back to open city, and while you’ll need to brush up on your makeup skills, remember to keep those cosmetic brushes clean and sanitized to keep your skin protected from illness. Before we start cleaning, I think it’s important to get to know your instrument. The following are the components of your brush:
Brushes are made up of various parts
BRISTLES – These can be formed of either real or synthetic hairs. Let’s start with natural hairs for this “how-to” essay. The bristles, often known as the brush’s “head,” are separated into three sections:
TOE – the part of the brush that makes contact with the skin.
BELLY – the length of the brush used to apply make-up in a “sweeping” motion.
The section of the bristles that are attached to the ferrule is called the heel.
The FERRULE is the section of the brush that links to the handle and holds the bristles in place. The “crimp” is an indentation at the end of the ferrule that connects to the handle and secures the ferrule to the handle.
HANDLE – can be constructed of wood or synthetic material and can vary in length and thickness.
Before you begin cleaning, make sure you have the following items on hand:
a large bowl filled with warm water – indeed, warm water or somewhat warmer than lukewarm – to ensure that the make-up residue would dissolve quickly in the water
antibacterial detergent in a little bowl – You won’t need much, so use 1 drop per brush, depending on how many brushes you’ll be cleaning.
Brush for cleaning
Yes, you can use your hands, but a cleansing pad will give you more traction and give you more chances to get into the brush and scrape off the items.
To remove the suds and ensure that it is properly cleansed, run the tap under running water.
conditioner – to ensure that the bristles on your face are soft and delicate.
To prevent water from running into the ferrule, you’ll need a towel or a drying rack to dry your brushes or hang them upside down on a drying rack.
Brush savers are used not just to maintain brushes in good condition, but also to keep dirt and dust out while they are not in use.
Let’s get started:
To moisten the bristles of the brush, dip it into the large bowl. Then, in the tiny dish, a second time to get some detergent into the bristles.
To lather up the cleanser into the brush, rub the bristles into the cleaning pad in a circular motion to ensure that all materials attached to the bristles are released.
Open your faucet to colder water and wash the suds from your brush, squeezing the suds once in a while to make sure it’s clean.
When your brush comes into contact with your skin, use conditioner to soften the bristles. This step is optional, but natural brush hairs, like regular hair, require conditioning to maintain their delicate structure. Allow for around 2 minutes for the conditioner to do its job.
To rinse off the conditioner, open the faucet again and squeeze out some of the water for optimal drying.
To prevent the water from reaching the ferrule, place the cleaned brushes on a towel to dry or on the drying rack. Keep in mind that keeping the ferrule dry extends the brush’s life and prevents it from shedding.
Remove the net savers as soon as the brush is completely dry to preserve it clean before using it again.
Brushes should be cleaned on a regular basis. This keeps muck from your make-up products from gathering on your brushes. This attracts bacteria, which can turn your brush into a breeding ground for bacteria something you definitely don’t want.
