Will makeup brushes get moldy? Do I need to wash my makeup brushes after I buy them?

For those who like to use makeup brushes, they will use them more frequently, which means that the makeup brushes will be in contact with cosmetics for a longer time. So will the makeup brushes get moldy during use? Do you need to clean the makeup brushes after you buy them?

It is possible. If you do not put it in a ventilated place after washing, it may become moldy after a period of time; or if the makeup brush is not dried in time after use and is placed in a dark place, it may become moldy at this time.

To be on the safe side, it is best to clean newly bought makeup brushes first. Because some loose hair may remain during the production process, it is best to clean them first after buying them. This not only cleans the makeup brushes, but also removes the loose hair on the makeup brushes. You don't need to use a special makeup brush cleaner to clean newly bought makeup brushes, because the function of the makeup brush cleaner is to clean the makeup residue on the makeup brushes. However, there is no makeup on the newly bought makeup brushes, so you can use shampoo, shower gel, soap, facial cleanser, etc. to clean them.

Makeup brushes come into close contact with facial skin every day. If used for a long time, the brush heads will not be clean. Not only are they easily stained with dust, but there is also a potential risk of bacteria growing inside the bristles. Using such brush heads to apply makeup is very likely to cause facial skin problems. Therefore, makeup brushes must be cleaned regularly and replaced if used for too long.

It depends on how often you use it. If you use it properly and clean and maintain it properly, it will last longer. However, makeup brushes should be replaced frequently. Brushes with problems can easily affect the effect of makeup. The life of facial brushes is usually 2-5 years, and eye brushes are generally 1-2 years. If they are used frequently, the life is slightly shorter, depending on the situation. High-quality brushes should be exquisitely made, easy to use, and durable. Brush hair is generally divided into animal hair and synthetic hair. Animal hair includes squirrel hair, wool, mink hair and many other types, and the prices are also different. Animal hair itself has a protective film, which has better elasticity and powder dipping power, making it easy to dip in makeup powder, while synthetic brushes are smoother and look brighter, but it is not easy to brush the powder evenly. In addition to the type and elasticity of the brush, there are many shapes of brushes, including curved, pointed beveled or flat. The smoothness of the lines and curvature of various brushes will affect the makeup effect. Therefore, when choosing, in addition to observing the bristles, elasticity, color and glossiness of the brush, you should also observe the firmness of the bristles. They should not fall off at will.
