Makeup brushes can harbor lots of dirt and bacteria, but frequent washing of your makeup brushes can keep them – and your face – clean and healthy. Below are some tips and pointers on how to keep your makeup brushes clean.

Step1:Run the bristles of the makeup brush under warm running water.

Step2:Apply a small amount of shampoo to bristles and work into a light lather.

Step3:Rinse bristles thoroughly under running water. You will notice that the water leaving the brush is tinted from old makeup.

Step4:Continue rinsing until no color leaves the brush.

Step5:Allow it to air-dry.
