How long can makeup brushes be used? Can makeup brushes be washed with facial cleanser?

Makeup brushes need to be cleaned, and it is best to have a certain cleaning cycle, so that the makeup brushes can stay relatively clean. So how long can makeup brushes generally be used? Can makeup brushes be cleaned with facial cleanser?

How long a set of makeup brushes can be used depends on the maintenance and the frequency of daily use. Normally, as long as they are properly maintained, a set of makeup brushes can be used for about two to three years. However, the quality of makeup brushes themselves also varies. Relatively speaking, animal hair makeup brushes can be used longer than fiber hair makeup brushes.

Facial cleanser can be used to clean makeup brushes. Makeup brushes are a tool used to apply makeup. Soft brushes are not only comfortable to use, but also have a very good makeup effect. However, after using this kind of brush for a long time, some makeup powder will be adsorbed on the brush. At this time, you can use makeup removers and cleaning products to clean it. Facial cleanser is a product that is often used to remove makeup and clean facial skin, so it can also be used to clean makeup brushes.

Do not soak in boiling water. Because the material of makeup brushes, whether animal hair or fiber hair, will be basically destroyed once soaked in boiling water, so the water temperature for soaking makeup brushes should be warm water or cold water. Boiling water will only destroy the makeup brushes. Whether it is a makeup brush, sponge egg or powder puff, you can soak them in a special cleaning agent when washing, and then gently shake or knead them with your hands, so that all the makeup inside can be dissolved and flow out with the water. However, if you soak them in boiling water, the residue inside is basically powder with oil components, and these residues will not be fully dissolved even if they encounter hot water.

When cleaning makeup brushes, you should choose a special makeup tool cleaning agent, which can not only thoroughly clean the residual cosmetic ingredients and dust in the makeup brushes, but also minimize the damage to the makeup tools. Pour the cleaning agent into the water and soak the makeup brushes in the water, wait for the cleaning agent to clean the residual cosmetics in the brushes, then rinse with clean water and wipe the surface with a napkin, and then put all the makeup brushes in a dry and ventilated environment to dry in the shade.
