Will a foundation brush enlarge your pores? Is a foundation brush harmful to your skin?

Although pore brushes are very effective in applying makeup, it is a brush after all. Will it make the pores on the face bigger if you sweep it back and forth on the face? Will foundation brushes harm the skin?

Don't worry, sisters. No matter what tools you use to put on makeup, the foundation will fill the pores. Of course, long-term use of brushes is equivalent to constantly removing dead skin, and the skin layer will become more sensitive over time (not all brushes, it also depends on how they are used). In terms of cleaning, just remove the makeup and wash your face with warm water. If you have already used makeup remover, just use a mild facial cleanser. If you want less foundation to enter the pores, you can apply a moisturizing, non-absorbent, and long-lasting uric acid solution before applying makeup.

Makeup brushes are the first choice for base makeup. As long as you buy good quality makeup brushes, they will not hurt your skin. Maintain them regularly and replace them with new ones if they lose too much hair. Use good quality and soft hair every time.

In addition, when it comes to applying makeup, the finger faction, powder puff faction, and brush faction are divided into three groups. Those who like to use fingers think that powder puffs and brushes are too troublesome and too pretentious, while those who use brushes think that fingers and powder puffs are too unprofessional. They all think that their choice is the best, but in fact, these three groups of foundation tools each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Whether you use your fingers or a powder puff, liquid foundation will inevitably get on your fingers, which is the main reason why some people switch to liquid foundation brushes. If you forget to wash your hands after applying foundation and change clothes and get things directly, you will often get liquid foundation everywhere. Especially for girls with long nails, liquid foundation is easy to remain in the nail crevices when applying makeup, which makes you look very sloppy. There is no such trouble with liquid foundation brushes. The foundation brush only needs to be cleaned once a week with hand soap or shower gel, which can save the problem of dirty hands when applying makeup. When not in use, put on a protective cover to prevent the brush head from getting dusty, and then insert it in a ventilated place. In terms of cleanliness, it is also cleaner than a sponge.

Makeup brushes have no shelf life. As long as there is no serious hair loss or damage, they can continue to be used. However, makeup brushes have a certain service life. Makeup brushes need to be cleaned and maintained regularly. As long as the brush head is kept clean, its service life can be appropriately extended. However, it is recommended to replace makeup brushes every six months. Makeup brushes must be cleaned and replaced regularly. Because makeup brushes will come into close contact with the skin of the face when used, and some cosmetics will remain on the brush head after use. If the brush head is not cleaned in time, the makeup brush will easily be contaminated with dust, and the residual cosmetics on the brush head will become corrupt and deteriorate, thereby breeding many bacteria. If you continue to use makeup brushes contaminated by bacteria to apply makeup, it is very easy to cause facial skin problems. Therefore, makeup brushes must be cleaned regularly after use. If you clean and maintain them diligently and well, you can appropriately extend the service life of makeup brushes. However, it is recommended to replace makeup brushes frequently, because makeup brushes will inevitably wear out after long-term use, and will lose hair, split, and lose paint. At this time, continuing to use makeup brushes that are severely worn will greatly affect the feeling of makeup. Generally speaking, the service life of facial brushes is two to five years, while that of eye brushes is generally one to two years. If they are used frequently in daily life, the service life will be slightly shorter. Brushes of better quality will also have a relatively longer service life. In terms of material, animal hair brushes are more precious, but they are also difficult to care for and maintain, so artificial hair brushes have a relatively longer service life. But in any case, it is recommended to replace brushes every six months.
