Why Clean Makeup Brushes Regularly?
Makeup brushes are more than just beauty tools—they’re a direct extension of your skin health. Left uncleaned, they become a breeding ground for bacteria, oil buildup, dead skin cells, and even mold. Dirty brushes can cause clogged pores, acne, and patchy makeup application.
For those aged 18–40 who wear makeup daily, improper brush hygiene can silently undo skincare routines. Thankfully, cleaning them doesn’t have to be time-consuming or messy anymore.
How to Clean Makeup Brushes with Brush Cleaner (Step-by-Step)
To clean makeup brushes with brush cleaner effectively, use an electric makeup brush cleaner and dryer machine to sanitize, rinse, and dry brushes in under a minute. This method ensures deep cleaning while preserving bristle quality.
- Detach the Brush Head: Gently remove your makeup brush from its handle if necessary.
- Attach to Spinner: Secure the brush handle to the spindle of your electric makeup brush cleaner and dryer machine.
- Add Brush Cleaner Solution: Fill the cleaning bowl with a small amount of makeup brush cleanser and water.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even with the right device, many users get brush cleaning wrong. Here’s what to avoid:
- ❌ Using hot water – it weakens glue and damages bristles
- ❌ Letting brushes dry flat – moisture stays trapped at base
- ❌ Cleaning too infrequently – aim for weekly cleaning
- ❌ Overloading cleanser – use just enough to break down oils
- ❌ Skipping disinfection – especially for concealer and foundation brushes
Extra Care Tips for Longevity
Keeping brushes in top condition isn’t just about cleaning. Try these extra tips:
- ✔️ Use a brush guard to retain shape post-cleaning
- ✔️ Sanitize monthly with alcohol spray for added hygiene
