Regular cleaning of makeup brushes extends their shelf life- not to mention keeps your skin from experiencing unwanted breakouts! Some makeup lines sell liquid brush cleaning solutions and spray cleaners, which are composed of a special formulation that is gentle enough to regularly clean natural hair bristles (regular soap formulation is too harsh), try the Parian Spirit Professional Makeup brush cleaner available at www.nipponesthetic.com.
Professional make up artists suggest going for quick-dry, enviro-friendly brush cleaners. A home alternative is using mild baby shampoo & water. Using this alternative, though, may dry out the brushes and make the hair fall out more easily. Antibacterial wipes provide a quick and tidy way yo clean brush heads. After cleaning your brushes, reshape the brush heads with your fingers and line them up on the edge of a shelf or sink to dry.
