Clean brushes, Clean Face DIY!!

Want to know how to Clean those Dirty Brushes???

It is extremely important to give your brushes a good clean at least once a week as bacteria and germs will gather and lead to breakouts!!

We know there are many different types of brush cleaners, but here is a simple technique you can do yourself at home.

Mix one Part Extra Virgin OLIVE OIL, Seeing as one of us is Half Italian, there is never a shortage of Olive Oil in our house.... And the other part with FAIRY WASHING UP LIQUID or even better Anti-bacterial Soap....to get rid of those nasty's!!!

Dip the brushes into the mix then give them a swirl around your hand at the same time as running them under warm water. (You always want the water to be warm not cold or hot as that will disrupt the glue holding the bristles together).

Also You want to hold them downwards so as not to get the water into the stem of the brush, again where the glue is!!

You'll see the MAKE-UP starting to fall off and the brushes will appear cleaner, softer and white!

This is why the OLIVE OIL is used! It helps condition the brushes against the harsh washing up liquid/soap...Which will make your brushes last longer :)

After the brushes are nice and clean you can put them on your radiator on top of some Tissue Paper

and leave overnight to air dry. Just re-shape them and lay them out flat and your job is done!
