Cleaning your makeup brushes and sponges is important to prevent bacteria build-up, which can cause harm to your skin and health. Here are some tips on how to clean your makeup brushes and sponges:

Cleaning Makeup Brushes:

1. Wet the bristles of your makeup brush with lukewarm water, ensuring that the brush is facing downwards, so the glue at the base doesnt become impacted.
2. Gently cleanse your brush using a gentle shampoo or clarifying shampoo, or a specialized brush-cleaning glove or pad. Swirl the brush around the palm of your hand to ensure a deep clean.
3. Rinse the cleansing product out of your brushes until the water runs clear.
4. Squeeze out any excess water from the bristles using clean, dry paper towels.
5. Lay your brushes flat to dry on a towel with the tips hanging off the edge of the counter. Do not dry your brushes upright in a container, as this will cause the water to run down the brushes, loosening the glue that connects the brush head with the handle.

Cleaning Makeup Sponges:

1. Wet your makeup sponge with lukewarm water.
2. Apply a small amount of dish soap or other brush cleanser to the sponge.
3. Let the sponge soak in the cleaning mixture for about 15-20 minutes.
4. Rinse the sponge thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
5. Squeeze out any excess water from the sponge using clean, dry paper towels.
6. Let the sponge air dry for several hours.
