My sensitive skin is tough to manage. Of course, I wash my face daily and moisturize, but there was always one area where I just didn’t do my face any favors. For years I neglected the important task of cleaning my makeup brushes. And that’s just gross and not doing my skin any favors. Adding this natural Makeup Brush Cleaner to my beauty routine keeps my brushes fresh and clean without harsh chemicals.

How to clean makeup brushes and other tips for a carefree beauty routine:

  • Use quality brushes that will wear well after years of makeup application and weekly washing. We love this brand which has a great history of making art brushes, also!
  • Use quality makeup that is high in pigmentation so you only have to use a little to achieve the desired results. This is the mineral makeup that we’ve been using for about 4 years. We absolutely love it! If you sign up for their newsletter they send out the most amazing coupons and special offers.

  • I clean my brushes on the same day every week so I don’t forget. Sundays are my day for a fresh start to the week.
  • Wash your scrubbing washcloths on the same weekday as your brushes so it’s all part of your routine.
