Hello everyone!
How many makeup brushes do u have?? And how often do u clean them?
I spot clean my brushes 3x a week (which is not that often), and deep clean them once a week. No that's not true. I don't have that much time. I try to thoroughly deep clean all my brushes once in every 2weeks.
But one thing for sure, i will clean them before i do any makeup service on any of my customers because if i were a customer, i wouldn't want to share or transmit all the bacterias from and to other customers. Personal hygiene is really important to me. It's like the "OCD"ness in me.. Like i will never eat anything from the fridge that are not covered@properly sealed because i feel like bacterias, fungus or spores are flying freely inside the fridge ToT. My hubby knows that. And i don't like to share my drinking water bottle (which i refill everyday and it is BPA free) or keep mineral water bottles for more than 2 days. You know when people drink your water and their mouths are touching the opening and they got their saliva all over it, then keep it for 2 days and there will be this smell that freaks me out and i hate it.
Ok back to our brushes. These are the economical ways to clean your brushes.
1) Spot cleaning
Try to spot clean your brushes everyday (or every 2 days if you are like me) to prevent makeup and bacteria buildups. The more makeup buildup you have on your brush, the more bacteria it holds. And in that case, your brushes are the ones to blame if you keep on developing acne, eye infection, etc. Remember, the more you take a good care of your brushes, the longer they'll last.
