How to Clean Makeup Brushes and Prep Your Skin Before Makeup Application
Daily Brush Cleaner. Spray it on after each use to prep them for your next use. With that in mind, a thorough and deep brush cleaning is still necessary and ideal on a weekly-basis. There are plenty of brush cleaners on the market, but you can also simply use a little baby shampoo and warm water. Lukewarm water is best because if the water is too hot it can loosen the glue that holds the bristles in place. We recommend washing your brushes on Sunday evening before bed so they are dry until the morning and be ready for a crystal clean week of makeup application. Fast forward to Monday Morning: Your brushes are dry and ready to rock and roll. Here’s the best Joanna Vargas Skincare morning routine to start the day off bright and right and bushy tailed: Cleanse: Prepare your skin for the products and makeup ahead with a great cleanser, like our Vitamin C Face Wash ($40). Your flawless complexion starts here. This product uses some of the most powerful antioxidants in existence to instantly brighten the skin while washing away dirt and debris. It will keep your pores clean and clear while nourishing the skin with Vitamin C and evening the texture. You’re officially ready for the step! Tone: Try to use a toner that is not too drying. For normal skin types, we’re fond of the Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner by Fresh ($44).
