Re: How do you clean your make-up brushes?

I use Dial antibacterial liquid soap. Rinse them well in water that has a few drops of hair conditioner in it.Stand them up in a glass to dry.

Philosphy purity once a month.  Wash & rinse, blot dry & put in sun to dry.  Some of my brushes are 2-3 years old & still in perfect condition.

Re: How do you clean your make-up brushes?

I shampoo them with baby shampoo or Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soap, rinse and lay them out to dry on a towel.  I'm thinking about getting one of these brush trees though.  It's supposed to keep water from sitting down in the ferrule of the brush and loosening the glue.

Re: How do you clean your make-up brushes?

I only have a couple brushes that I use regularly and they are not expensive.  I keep them about a month and then toss and get new ones.  I love the Wet 'N Wild ones, especially the big powder brush.  It is fluffy, soft and white and has pink tips to it!!!  As for my sponges, I was them every 2 weeks using CeraVe soap.

I clean them every week with Purity as don`t like the oily smell they emit.  A way of using up Purity Made Simple.

That's funny 😂. I clean my brushes w/ the IT "It's Your Brush Love" spray. The lg. 3.4 oz. size is avail. on Q but have only seen the smaller ones in ULTA & other stores. I only use 3 or 4 brushes for my daily quick face & afterwards, I clean my brushes w/ this spray each time before putting them back. Every other week, they get cleaned w/ Purity or baby shampoo.

If you search "Benjabelle brush tree" on Google, it should come up.  I think I've seen other brands on Amazon as well. 

 

I haven't tried it, so I don't know how sturdy it is, but I'm thinking about buying one.

I use a very mild soap...that is all. Nothing special.
