How clean are your makeup brushes?
When you’re getting ready in the morning, that’s probably the last thing on your mind. But keeping your brushes clean can go a long way when it comes to preventing more bacteria from getting on your face.
This can be so important for people who are prone to eye infections, acne or just have sensitive skin.
So how often should you clean your brushes?
Ones that are used for wet or liquid products should be washed a bit more often — maybe once a week. Those used for dry products, like powder, can be washed once a month. Products that are used around the eyes, meanwhile, should be washed every two weeks.
Sometimes, however, it’s just best to toss those old brushes and replace them with new ones.
