Makeup-brush weekly wash

A gentle soap, rinse, and open-air dry for foundation and face brushes.

The problem

Face brushes collect foundation, oil, and powder when a brush moves between the skin and a makeup bag without a wash.

The public answer

Wash the bristles with mild soap, keep water away from the ferrule, rinse fully, and dry the brush flat in open air.

Duration: 8–12 minutes plus full drying timeFrequency: Wash face brushes weekly or sooner when product buildup is visible; follow the maker’s care instructions.evidence informed
