Makeup Brushes

If you're serious about your makeup application then I imagine you've paid quite handsomely for your brushes, but regardless of your collection the brushes do need cleaned and often! There is no need to dispose of brushes unless the bristles are really tired, instead why not try cleaning them with Johnston's Baby Shampoo? Yes! It really does the job.

Bacteria builds up on your makeup brushes and can lead to spots, so save your face and your pennies by trying this at home.

Buy a bottle of baby shampoo, any brand is okay so long as it is mild. Run the water tap, preferably hot and work up a lather. You'll notice the makeup lifting from the brushes, you might need to repeat this step a few times to remove all of the makeup. For best results keep the tap running as you rinse, don't dab them about in a sink of water as this won't remove the grime. Remember: you can repeat these steps with the cold tap, there is no need to waste hot water! I usually do this at night time and allow the brushes to dry overnight but if you're in a rush you can blast them under the dryer.

Hey presto, you're left with sparkling new brushes!
