Winter is here! And while we’re all bundling up and switching to cosy skincare, it’s the perfect time to give your makeup brushes some extra TLC. Just like our skin, brushes need a little extra care to stay soft, clean, and ready to work their magic. Today, we’re sharing simple tips to keep your brushes looking and performing their best this season. Let’s make winter brush care easy and totally stress-free!
Why Winter Cleaning Is a Must
Ever feel like makeup brushes get dirtier in winter? Between dry indoor air, more skincare layers, and even heavier makeup, your brushes go through a lot. Regular cleaning isn’t just a chore – it’s the secret to smoother makeup application, healthier skin, and longer-lasting brushes. Plus, a clean brush equals no unwanted bacteria near your face – a win for your skin!
Your Essential Winter Brush Care Kit
Before we dive into the process, here are two tools you absolutely need for top-notch brush care this season:
- 100% Vegan Solid Brush Soap: This luxury solid soap is as gentle as it is powerful, getting rid of even the most stubborn makeup residue. Its vegan formula is packed with nourishing ingredients to keep your brushes soft and conditioned.
- Silicone Brush Drying Towel: This highly absorbent towel is a lifesaver! Pop your brushes into the handy elasticated slots and hang in a warm space to dry.
These must-haves will make your winter brush care routine a breeze!
How To Deep Clean Your Brushes Like a Pro
- Wet the Bristles: Start by running the bristles under lukewarm water. Keep the brush head pointing down so water doesn’t sneak into the handle and loosen the glue – nobody wants shedding bristles!
- Lather with Solid Brush Soap: Rub the bristles on the solid brush soap, creating a rich lather. Give each brush a gentle massage – our soap’s vegan ingredients will break down makeup buildup while treating your bristles with kindness.
- Cleanse & Rinse: Massage the bristles on the cleaning mat in the lid, then rinse under running water. Repeat until the water runs clear.
- Squeeze and Dry: Gently squeeze out excess water and reshape the bristles. Dry the brushes using our brush towel or lie them flat, with the bristles hanging off the edge of the counter to air dry completely.
Winter Brush Storage Tips
Where you store your brushes matters, especially in winter! Here are a few tips to keep them fresh and fluffy:
- Avoid Humidity: Even in the colder months, avoid leaving your brushes in damp spots like the bathroom. Dry, open areas are best.
- Use a Brush Holder: Keep your brushes upright when they’re dry to help maintain their shape and make your setup look super cute!
Keeping your brushes in top shape this winter doesn’t have to be complicated! With the right tools and a little extra care, your brushes will stay clean, soft, and ready for action all season long. So go ahead, show your brushes some love – they’re here to keep you glowing all winter!
