When we think of keeping our faces clean and fresh, we think cleanser, toner and moisturizer. But don’t stop there. Makeup brushes are not only the key to perfect application, with proper care; they’re the key to keeping your skin free of dust, dirt, and bacteria.

It’s pretty easy to use your brushes and then forget about them until the next time, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that taking care of your brushes means a cleaner face, less irritated skin, and better makeup application.

Shana King, a Professional Makeup Artist and Founder of adesign brushes, is in tune with the ways of the brush. Her line of high quality tools improves the function and skill of makeup application, and has garnered her rave reviews along the way.
Shana helps us out with a simple 4-step method to keep your brushes in tip-top shape:

1. Storage - Store brushes in their custom pouches to assure they stay safe so that the bristles will not be crushed.
2. Cleaning - Once a month, use mild soap or shampoo and water. Gently work soap or shampoo through the bristles. Swirl the brush in circles in the palm of your hand and rinse under water, until water is clean.
3. Drying - If possible, brushes love to be hung up, bristles facing to the floor to assure all moisture egresses.
4. Quick Cleanings - As needed, use an alcohol-free swab to remove excess makeup in between big washings.

Remember, caring for your brushes will save you time, money and your skin. For more information on Shana King and adesign brushes, visit adesignbrushes.com.
