What’s the Best Cleanser for Makeup Brushes?
When it comes to getting your makeup brushes truly clean, not all cleansers are created equal. The ideal brush cleanser should remove product buildup, dissolve oils, and kill bacteria—without damaging delicate bristles or irritating your skin.
What to Look for in a Brush Cleanser:
- Gentle Ingredients: Harsh soaps can dry out natural or synthetic bristles. Look for sulphate-free, non-drying formulas.
- Antibacterial Properties: Cleansers that kill germs help prevent breakouts and skin irritation.
- Low Residue: A good cleanser rinses clean without leaving behind oils or films that affect makeup application.
Many users swear by simple household options like baby shampoo or gentle dish soap, while others prefer dedicated brush cleansers formulated specifically for makeup tools.
Pro Tip: Always avoid hot water or soaking brushes, as this can loosen glue and cause bristle shedding.
