Clean Your Makeup brushes Properly!! With Skin Rocks AD

[@WakingMoon83]

I wash my makeup brushes RELIGIOUSLY. I once had an eye infection and my eye swelled shut..... 5 days before I was to be married! (I picked up a bacterial infection and for whatever reason it effected my eye first. I got antibiotics and eye drops and it cleared up in time for the wedding!) That chaos made me REALLY CRAZY CAREFUL about my eyes and how to keep them healthy.

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

I wash my natural hair expensive brushes every other time or even every time. I know they might not last as long but I can't deal with them not being "clean" or the pigments mixing either. They say to wash them once a month. I cannot NOT wash my brushes either 😂 I also use conditioner after cleansing and it does help keep them soft tho

[@WakingMoon83]

@@DanielleNicoleMakeup I use the Walmart knockoff of Dr. Bronners peppermint castile soap to wash my brushes and it works really well without damaging them. A friend is a makeup artist and she said that's what she uses so I was like, "if it's good enough for her, it's good enough for me" lol

[@dizzylizzy7582]

Makeup brushes are an investment. If we look after them, they will last for years. I have expensive brushes so I clean all brushes I've used every week. I've got a lot of brushes so I don't need to keep using a dirty brush. I love using Dr Bronner's pure soap liquid. It's gentle and I've been using it for a long time now.

my favourite thing for drying is to lay a towel flat on my desk and the edge at the back i roll forward until it forms a little sausage/sushi roll at the back. then i can prop the handles on that part and the brush angled toward the front of my desk and it means if any water did get in the barrel it can run down and out!! :-)

[@PureSniperWolf]

I agree, a video about what kinds of brushes are, do they really only work for one thing or are they good for a variety of products and applications? I really want to know about makes a "good" makeup brush? How do you know if it's a good quality brush or just an expensive one?

[@yadingus4422]

When I was a teenager I had this big fluffy powder brush that I just loved and it was so cute, but I was in a pinch to get it dry for the next day's makeup so I tried to use a hairdryer on high heat to dry it.... Bless my heart... The ends of the bristles fried and curled up and got crunchy! It was awful. I practically had to give it a funeral to have the courage to get rid of it lol Thank you for this video! I'm much smarter about these things now that I'm older thankfully, but I did learn some bits from this! ❤

[@joymclaurin7167]

I saw a bad review of a makeup brush recently. The person sent a picture of the wooden handles all cracked. She said she submerged the brushes in water for 10 minutes like she does all her brushes and these ones cracked….. I wanted to tell her that I wouldn’t soak anything wooden fir any length of time…. The glue aside, it’s a bad idea if you want to keep it

Can you over clean them? I invested in good quality brushes and have a habit of cleaning after every use because I can't leave them dirty but I don't want to ruin them either.

[@skellexis404]

noticing that my rougher areas on my skin are also the places i use brushes the most…thank you for this i need to upgrade my process

[@kathleenem9207]

During lockdown in 2020, I threw out all my brushes and gradually started to buy new ones. I began to watch Alicia Archer (KinkySweat) and that was the beginning of the end. She has the BEST brush reviews and tutorials. I started to learn about, appreciate, and buy Fude brushes and you’d better believe I learned how to clean them. Since I have several of each kind now as well as several sets- ( Sonya G., Wayne Goss, and Sigma, including your brush set ( I LOVE the 4DHD precision). I can go a week and not clean them. Every weekend I take the group of used ones and do my little cleaning ritual and actually enjoy it. ( mind you, I’m retired) I let them hang in the holder for at least 48 hours. Thanks for the sink hint.I was using a shallow bowl and changed the water 2-3 times. Your idea is easier.

[@jessicanicole4350]

Fun lil hack to hang your brushes: use a hair tie and loop it around the brush and attach it to a bar or handle or towel rack etc. loop it once around the brush, pull the hair tie behind the horizontal bar of choice, then loop it back again onto the brush. It’ll hold it upside down perfectly so the glue doesn’t get messed up and it dries properly.

Thank you so much for making this type of video!! My friend has been washing her makeup brushes by putting water and soap in a bowl and just tossing all her brushes into it and soaking them like 4" deep in the soapy water for like 30+ mins and then rinsing them, and it drives me crazy!!!! I keep telling her it's going to ruin the brushes and now she's actually seeing the bristles and tops falling off and the wooden handles splitting, but still won't stop because she thinks this is how you're supposed to clean them. I'm going to make her watch this video and hopefully Robert can talk some sense into her. It breaks my heart to see these nice brushes literally cracking, splintering, and basically rotting from the inside.

Shared this video in a makeup group I’m in 🧡

[@jamie1602]

There is only one thing I could bring up... Look into what your brush cleansers are. This isn't a problem for everyone. It was for me. If your skin is very sensitive to certain ingredients, you may not do well with your brush shampoo. I share a small bit of my face cleanser since I'm acne prone and allergic to most common ingredients in skincare and soap. Aloe, coconut, and rose are the bane of my existence so that means my brushes take a little swish in my own face cleanser or baby shampoo. My synthetic brushes tend to look "fried" after about three years of use. My secret is discount conditioner or a hair mask. I leave it in like you would a hair treatment and rinse so about three to fifteen minutes. That's it. My oldest brush is from when I was eighteen years old. I'm thirty now. It's well loved and very pampered.

Omg, so glad you did a video on this. I got a staph infection on my lips from my Dentist. Been dealing with flare ups of it for 3 years ever since. When I use a new lip product, and when I go back to use it again, I get a flare up. It's gotten to the point where I only use Vanicream Ointment on my lips now. So whenever I use a lip product, I clean the back of my hand with alcohol and dispense the product there and then use the product from my hand. It's kind of annoying because Idk what will make my lips flare up, it can be anything so it's a lot of cleaning my hand, alcohol, dispense, use and repeat with foundation, concealer, etc. I guess I can get one of those makeup trays, more Hygiene and easy to clean. I'm just a very hygienic person and makeup is not in some ways. Like it gets everywhere lol. I don't wear make-up because of fear my lips will flare up but I want to so, I'm glad you made this video. I've heard using an alcohol spray on your products sanitizes them after you scrap off the top part. Idk if that's true.

She proceeded to tell me what a brilliant idea that she had to do this. I said that I’d stick to washing mine by hand every week.😏 Not only did she toss them in the washer, she also put them in the dryer afterwards!😳 Those things looked like mini porcupines on the end of sticks!🤣 I have no idea if she still washes/dries her brushes this way but I can guarantee they probably didn’t last very long! Not to mention, I’m sure it left all kinds of detergent and fabric softener residue all over them!😝 ***One little trick that I do when drying my brushes... You know the wired metal cooling racks that you put baked cookies, pastries, etc. to cool off on? I lay my brushes on the edge of them. The rack is elevated by about 2” and I put the brushes all around the perimeter of the rectangle with the bristles/hair hanging off. It gets air circulating 360* and with them laying sideways, no water goes down into where the adhesive is. 🖤💜 My Sigma Robert Welsh Favorites brushes I wash like they are a newborn baby’s eyelashes!😁🖤💜
