Just like wrenches and tools have to be wiped clean from use, our makeup brushes need cleaning from time to time. If you dwell on how many times youโve applied powder or blush without cleaning your makeup brushes, you may be shaking your head right now.ย
Iโm sharing my easy method to clean makeup brushes. It will only take a few minutes of your busy schedule.
There are many different ideas about how to clean your makeup brushes but I like to use organic soap.ย
Great big bars of Organic soap is my guilty pleasure. Whatโs yours?ย
Three Steps To Cleaning Make Up Brushes
1. Lather
Place a small amount of waterย in a small bowl. Set the soap into the water to wet the bar.
Begin by rinsing your brushesย under warm water to wet them and allow the loose makeup to rinse off.
Swirl the brush on the top of the soap.ย You can see this is my blush brush and it was terribly in need of cleaning!
I swirl mineย around really well to incorporate the soap into all of the bristles. You donโt want the brush to loose itโs shape but that wonโt happen in just a few seconds of cleaning time.
2. Rinse
Rinse under warm waterย using your fingers to massage the soap out of the bristles which will also help with the cleansing process. If the water doesnโt run clear, repeat the soapy process until the brushes are clean.
3. Dry
Dry lying flatย on paper toweling or a clean dry towel. I always allow mine to dry overnight.
How oftenย you need to clean your makeup brushes depends on how often you use them. You may use some more often than others which means you donโt need to clean them all every time.ย
If you are a big fan of frugal, like me, you donโt spend money on needless items to clutter up the cabinets.ย There are plenty of products on the market for the sole purpose of cleaning makeup brushes. ย Iโm all about frugal living so I do what works using what I have.ย Cleaning my makeup brushes with organic soap is one of those things.
You can find organic soap in a variety of places including; Amazon, your local farmerโs market or your local health food store. The bonus to shopping at the local farmerโs market is that you will be buying products grown locally. Most farmerโs markets do have a vendor selling organic soaps including goats milk soap.
I will have to give this a try! Our makeup brushes touch our delicate skin after all!
I have been looking for a gentle way to clean my brushes. My make up brushes cost a good bit and I splurge for good ones so they are not disposable. I’m going to seek out some organic soap and give this a try.
I have a cosmetic brush cleanser that I use, but like the idea of cleaning with organic soap even more. My brushes are due for a cleaning, so I’ll have to try this.
This is brilliant, but never thought of it. Why would we want to use chemicals on our face after cleaning them with soap.
Thanks for sharing. The organic soap is a great idea for cleaning makeup brushes. It is such an important thing to do that often gets overlooked. ๐

Our farmer’s market doesn’t carry organic soaps, unfortunately. I usually buy mine online. My guilty pleasure is organic coconut oil, though. It’s not for cleaning makeup brushes. I use it on my hair and it does wonders!
