Brush Spa

Guess who just got pampered?!!

Haha! I was reading my good friend Jehan's blog  when I found out about her kikay regimen. I never had an entry about my kikay stuff because they're NOT worth blogging!! Haha! For two years now, I've been using affordable Korean products, particularly the ones from The Faceshop after my former co-intern Patricia introduced them to me.  I also want stuff from Skin Food but they're so pricey!!! Haha! Poorita me. 

This afternoon, while reading Jeh's blog, I suddenly thought of cleaning my makeup brushes but I don't know how to do it without ruining their fragile strands. So I sought help from HERE.  

According to Lauren Conrad, here’s the right way to deep clean your makeup brushes…

You will need:
• A shallow bowl
• Gentle clarifying shampoo or baby shampoo
• Your sink
• A lint free cloth

Instructions:

1. Begin by running your brushes under lukewarm water, rinsing out all of the residual makeup. Try to focus on the actual bristles while avoiding the part of the brush where handle meets the head, as this can loosen the glue over time
2. Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and a squirt of shampoo, and gently swirl your brush tip in the water. If you need to, you can also swirl the brush in the palm of your hand to work up a lather.
3. Rinse the brush tip under running water once again. Repeat steps two and three until the water runs clear from the brush,
4. Use a cloth to wipe your brush clean, reshaping the bristles as you go.
5. Lay your brushes flat on a cloth to dry.

And there you have it! Your makeup brushes will be as clean a whistle. It’s also worth mentioning that there are specially formulated brush shampoos on the market. A gentle clarifying or baby shampoo will do the trick just fine though.

I just did what the instructions said and voila!! my brushes were as fresh as a lady out of the shower and they smelled like my hair. Haha!
