Being Aware of the Skin Problems
Know how dirty brushes affect your skin. Makeup brushes come in touch with our skin every time we apply it. And as humans we sweat; if you're out and about then your face to face with pollution, dirt, grime and all other things that we go through. When you re-apply your makeup, you may be dabbing your powder brush through the powder and patting your entire face with it almost every time you powder again.
Be aware that through this process of continuous applying and reapplication of makeup, your brush too gets dirty and damaged. This unhygienic method results in pimples and boils on the face.
Remember to clean your eyes, too. No one wants an eye infection on the day you want to look stunning!
Getting Rid of These Problems
Wash your brushes regularly.
Take care of your skin. Wash it regularly before putting on the other layer of powder on to your face, etc.
Baby Shampoo Method
Take a bowl of warm water.
But a few drops of baby shampoo to it and make the water soapy.
Sink your brushes to this water for sometime (take around five to ten minutes) and rinse off with normal tap water.
Let it dry either in your brush holder or upside down. The upside down method is recommended because the basic logic is that the force of gravity will not only bring down the water, but it will also dry faster. However, make sure you don't overdo washing, or the glue holding your bristles, or they will wash away, resulting in bald brushes!

Knowing How Often to Wash Your Brushes
Wash your brushes before you use them for the first time. You don't know where the brush has been for so long, and how they have been handled, not forgetting the production and other factors. If you have sensitive skin, maybe you need to wash your skin more frequently than recommended. Clean an Eye Makeup Brush Step 14.jpg
Understand that you must wash your brushes at least once every two weeks; do this if you don't use it every day. If you're a daily makeup user, once a week is a holy grail.
Using the Intensive Method
Take a plate and pour some liquid dishwashing detergent. You can use baby shampoo too as an alternative.
Take any oil available i.e. olive oil, coconut oil or any nourishing oil and pour it to the same plate. Note that cooking oil is not recommended.
Take your brush and glide it through the oil and the soap.
Brush your brush to your palms gently, in order to remove the makeup and dirt.
Take some lukewarm water, wash the brushes and let it dry. Viola!
