How to Clean Eyebrow Brush? | Care Tips by MHYA

We use beauty brushes routinely to masterly set the cosmetics. We cannot ignore the importance of these mini applicators in our life. But many people forget to clean the brushes and keep using them. Sweeping powder on the face with the help of a dirty brush can lead to pimples and many other skin problems. To protect the skin, one must use only clean makeup brushes. Eyebrow brush is used more heavily than any other type. It is an ideal tool for re-shaping or combing the mini brow hairs, giving us an elegant brow shape.

Why cleaning is important? The makeup products sit well on clean perfect skin. By using the contaminated applicator, you are welcoming bacterial and fungal attacks. Many researchers have revealed that almost every makeup applicator is infected by bacteria and every beauty artist should keep their tools neat and clean by washing them once a week.

Spoolie is a special type of brush designed to perform many beauty tasks. Its unique shape allows the artist to finely brush the eyebrows, and lashes help in applying mascara and re-shaping the brows. After applying the mascara or brow product, the spoolie brush needs to be cleaned so that the cosmetics don’t get stuck over the bristles which in turn welcome more and more bacteria. Many cleaning techniques are present over the internet. If you are looking for an easy-to-go technique then my friend you are at the right website. Today we come up with the easiest useful ways on how to clean eyebrow brushes. Keep reading our care tips.

What Type of Eyebrow Brush are you using?

Before jumping into washing-up brushes, first one should understand the type and material of the brush. These types of applicators are often made of two types of material- synthetic or natural. Using the old clockwise cleaning technique for cleaning the synthetic brush is not the right way. Synthetic ones are not only made to provide precise application but also it is very smooth to wash their bristles. To sanitize these mini tools, one can use alcohol cleaners.

Don’t go for alcohol cleaners if the brow brush is made of natural material. Natural material requires gentle cleaning, so for hairy bristles, we recommend using an alcohol-free cleaner or baby shampoo. By giving a few minutes of attention to your mini beauty tools, one can protect themselves from developing pimples. Dusty brushes provoke pimples to breakout and some also cause a rash over the skin. No doubt, face skin is very sensitive so don’t be lazy to clean up the dirt on brushes.

Give a sharp look to your brows by using clean eyebrow tools and protect the hairs and skin of your eyebrows from bacterial infection.  

Some Effective Ways to Clean Eyebrow Brush

Cleaning brushes don’t demand expensive cleaners and tools. Everything is easily available at your home so follow our step-by-step guidelines for effective sanitization of these applicators.

1.     Get Rid of Accumulated Brow Gel and Mascara by using a Towel

Spoolie helps to easily apply eyebrow re-shaping gels and mascara in a pro-style. But when you keep using these products, they may get accumulated over the bristles- making it hard to properly work. To restore its working abilities, one has to get rid of accumulated gels. For this, one just needs to roll the brush in a paper towel. Roll it over the towel again and again to loosen the dried accumulated gels. Do this step when you see many dried clumps on the bristles.

2.     Remove Accumulated Gel using Warm Water

One can also remove the excessive dried gel with the help of warm water. Warm the water and put it in a bowl. Make sure the water is warm but not boiling warm. Let your brush float in the warm water for six minutes and after six minutes you would see that the water becomes grey. Take out the grey water and again wash the bristles in clean warm water and let it dry.

3.     Sanitize the Synthetic Eyebrow Brush

If your brush is made of synthetic hairs then you need to clean it differently. Synthetic bristles are smooth and soft and require some extra care. There are many brush cleaners present in the supermarket. Buy one cleaner for your brushes to increase their life span. Spray the cleaner over the towel and cover the bristles in the towel for seven minutes. This step helps to remove all the bacteria, fungus, and accumulated gel.

If you don’t have a professional cleaner, you can go for alcohol also.

4.     Sanitize Natural Bristles

Using alcohol cleaners for natural hairy brushes can harm the bristles. To revive the working ability of bristles, baby shampoo works well for natural types. Dirt, dust, and accumulated gels can be removed finely with the use of baby shampoo. Apply the baby shampoo over the bristles and move the brush against your wet warms to get rid of dust and accumulated residue. Then remove the shampoo by washing it thoroughly under water. Place the brush aside to dry properly before using it again. Repeat this step after every week.
