How to clean your makeup tools

This is not really a massage post. I thought it would be a good place to remind everyone that it is a good idea to clean the items that we use everyday.

Your makeup tools can create the perfect breeding ground for bacteria (and leftover dirt, oils and dust) – something you probably want far from your face!

Bacteria may lead to acne and skin infection. To clean your brushes, we suggest you rinse them with water first and then apply a drop of SENSE REVITALIZING SHAMPOO, creating a lather. Next, wash them well and use a towel to ring out the water. Let the brushes air dry.

According to leading makeup artists, tools used with liquid products – like eye shadow and foundation – should be washed daily. Brushes that are used with powder products can be cleaned weekly.

For an in-depth monthly brush cleansing, mix the SENSE REVITALIZING SHAMPOO with a few drops of ORGANIC TEA TREE OIL, for bacteria-fighting properties. Lather for 30 seconds. Avoid sharing your makeup brushes because this can lead to spreading of skin infection.

Healthy, clean makeup brushes are an integral part of healthy skin!
