Cosmetic Brush Care

Do you know what’s on your makeup brushes?

Sanitation is vital to maintain both the appearance of your cosmetic brushes and of your face. When not properly cleaned, cosmetic brushes can hold millions of bacteria, which can be transferred to the skin.

Not only do they attract bacteria, but unsanitary brushes will also result in color build-up that will seem to affect the quality of your makeup. People with certain skin conditions or whose skin is being treated are more at risk to bacterial infection and should clean their brushes after each use.

Many cosmetic brands have brush cleaners that can improve the quality and longevity of a brush. Colorescience has the Aromatherapy Brush Cleaner, which uses essential oils such as citrus and tea tree to cleanse and purify.
Glominerals Brush Cleaner is full of soothing extracts that can be used on acne-prone skin.
