1. Rinse: Rinse the bristles, always with water streaming down — you want to avoid running water directly into the base of the brush, which can weaken the glue and shorten the lifespan of your brush. This is why bristles begin to fall out.
2. Cleanse: Work a small amount of gentle shampoo (baby shampoo works wonderfully here too) or soap into the bristles. Lather, rinse and repeat until the water runs clear. If you are having a hard time getting stubborn products out of your brush, massage some coconut oil into the bristles. This will loosen the build-up and make cleaning easier.
3. Dry: Press a dry towel into the bristles to sop up excess water. Reshape the bristles and lay clean brushes flat on a towel overnight to dry.
4. Repeat: Clean your brushes every other week to keep the germs away from your makeup and off your skin.
