How to clean makeup brushes - a guide by Bikor Makeup
Makeup brushes, whether made of natural bristles or synthetic fibers, are essential tools for every woman. To enjoy them for as long as possible and to ensure your skin's health, it's important to know how to clean them properly. Bikor, a brand specializing in high-quality cosmetics, offers tips on how to care for your brushes.
Brushes with leftover cosmetics and oils create an ideal environment for dust and bacteria, making regular cleaning essential. Here’s our step-by-step guide on how to do it:
-
WASHING:
Wash the brush with lukewarm water and a gentle cleansing agent, such as baby shampoo or specially formulated brush cleaner. Hold the bristles downward to allow water to flow down, protecting the brush base. Gently massage without twisting the bristles. Repeat until the water runs clear.
-
DISINFECTING:
Disinfect the brush with a solution of natural vinegar (e.g., apple cider) and water (in a 1:2 ratio). Mix for one minute, avoiding getting the entire brush wet.
-
DRYING:
Gently squeeze out excess water and lay the brushes so the bristles can hang freely, allowing them to dry properly. After a few hours, turn the brushes to let the bristles return to their natural shape. Leave them to dry for 8-12 hours.
By following these steps, your makeup brushes – especially the high-quality ones from Bikor – will serve you well for many years, ensuring flawless makeup application.
