Care for Brushes: Be sure to care for your brushes properly. Bacteria from skin can adhere to brushes and can cause breakouts. It is important to clean your brushes regularly.

Shampoo: You can use a mild cleanser. Rinse brush head gently under lukewarm water, with the bristles pointing down. Use your fingers to work the soap into the hair. Rinse gently under running water, thoroughly. Gently reshape the head of the brush and lay flat over the edge of your countertop. Allow to completely dry, and fluff the bristles back into shape. Do not allow any water or cleanser to get inside the ferrule (the metal part of the brush between the hair and handle). This may weaken the glue used to hold in the hair and may cause shedding. Always lay brushes flat to dry. Do not blow dry!
