Should I wash my makeup brushes with hot or cold water? Can I put my makeup brushes in the sun after washing them?

Makeup brushes can generally be used for two to three years, but they need to be cleaned. So do you know whether to wash makeup brushes with hot water or cold water? Can makeup brushes be exposed to the sun after washing?

Wash your makeup brushes with cold water. It is very important to clean your makeup tools regularly. Since most of the bristles of makeup brushes are made of animal hair, they are relatively fragile and soft. When washing, pay special attention to the water temperature and the choice of detergent. You can use cold water or warm water to wash the bristles, but never use hot water. Too high a water temperature will directly cause the bristles to harden. Water with a lower temperature will not damage the bristles. However, cold water is not easy to dissolve the cosmetic residue in the makeup brush. It is better to use warm water to clean the makeup brushes, which is more convenient and thorough. Hot water and boiling water are too high in temperature to easily deform and harden the bristles of the makeup brushes. Hardened makeup brushes can easily cause certain irritation to the skin.

No. Most makeup brushes are made of real animal hair, so they cannot be dried in the sun. They must be dried naturally. Do not use a hair dryer to dry them. Exposure to the sun can easily affect the material of the makeup brushes. After washing, use a conditioner to wash the makeup brushes again to make the bristles softer. Wash along the direction of hair growth, otherwise it will damage the hair. Wash and put them in a cool place to dry.

1. After cleaning, find a clean towel, place the brush on the towel, and gently pinch it with your fingers to dry the bristles.

2. Lay the makeup brush flat on a dry towel to dry. This is a key step. Never place the brush upright, as the residual moisture will damage the metal and glue at the root of the bristles, making the bristles loose. In addition, laying the brush flat will help the bristles maintain their original shape after drying.

When choosing makeup brushes, beginners can first choose basic brush sets. Novices are not very familiar with the use of makeup brushes, so choosing a brush set will help them find the right brush type for themselves. When choosing the type of bristles, beginners are advised to choose fiber-bristle brushes. Fiber-bristle brushes are relatively cheap and cost-effective, and are more suitable for beginners. In addition, fiber-bristle brushes have weaker powder-grabbing power than animal hair, so fiber-bristle brushes are the best choice for beginners.
