OK.. I KNOW THAT THIS IS PRETTY BASIC AND SIMPLE BUT I DON'T THINK WE CLEAN OUR BRUSHES ENOUGH..I HAVE GOTTEN QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT I USE AND HOW I ACTUALLY GET ALL THE MAKE UP OUT OF MY BRUSHES. SO HERE IS HOW I DO IT.
GATHER UP ALL YOUR BRUSHES AND FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO CLEAN THEM WITH..YOU CAN BUY BRUSH CLEANER BUT I PREFER TO USE A MILD FACIAL CLEANSER. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT YOUR BRUSHES GO ON YOUR FACE, SO ANYTHING YOU USE TO CLEAN THEM CAN TRANSFER ONTO YOUR FACE IF YOU DON'T RINSE THEM WELL. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS OLAY FOAMING FACE WASH. ITS DEEP CLEANING AND IS NOT OVER DRYING AND OIL FREE WHICH IS PERFECT FOR CLEANING BRUSHES. I DON'T USE THIS EVERYDAY AS A CLEANER BUT I DO USE A DIFFERENT OLAY PRODUCT. THIS FOAMING FACE WASH WAS UNDER $4.00 SO ITS PRICED REALLY REASONABLE.
TO GET THE MAKE UP THAT HAS BUILT UP IN THE BRISTLES YOU WANT TO SWIRL THE BRUSH IN YOUR HAND. THIS GETS THE MAKEUP OUT WITHOUT DAMAGING THE THE BRUSH.
THEN YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO HOLD THE BRUSH DOWNWARD AND RINSE IT UNDER THE WATER WHILE SWIRLING IT YOUR PALM. YOU WANT TO BE SURE TO GET ALL THE SOAP OUT NOT ONLY TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR BRUSH BUT ALSO TO YOUR FACE.
WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED WITH A BRUSH YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO BE CAREFUL ON HOW YOU DRY IT. YOU WANT TO LAY IT WITH THE BRISTLES DOWNWARD ON AN ANGLE TO KEEP ANY EXCESS WATER OUT OF THAT SHAFT AREA. YOU WANT YOUR BRISTLES TO NOT BE TOUCHING ANYTHING SO THEY DON'T LOOSE THERE SHAPE OR SOFTNESS. ALSO REMEMBER IF YOU DO HAPPEN TO DROP ONE OR ONE FALLS OFF WHILE IT IS DRYING, YOU WILL WANT TO RINSE IT AGAIN BEFORE LAYING IT TO DRY. MOST WOMAN DON'T REALIZE THAT A LOT OF THEIR BREAK OUTS ARE FROM DIRTY BRUSHES. EVEN WHEN THEY ARE IN YOUR PURSE, IF THEY ARE NOT COVERED AND PROTECTED THEY WILL COLLECT DIRT AND DEBRIS WHICH WILL FOR SURE CAUSE BREAK OUTS. 
THIS PICTURE SHOWS HOW I LIKE TO LAY THEM OUT AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN WASHED AND RINSED. I THINK ITS VERY IMPORTANT HOW YOU LAY THEM TO DRY. YOU CAN REALLY DAMAGE TO THE BRUSH IF YOU DO NOT TAKE CARE WHEN CLEANING AND DRYING THEM. 
KEEP REPEATING THE PROCESS UNTIL ALL YOUR BRUSHES ARE WASHED AND LAYED OUT TO DRY. YOU WILL WANT TO LEAVE THEM OUT ALL NIGHT TO ENSURE THEY ARE DRY BEFORE YOU USE THEM. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN I HAVE WASHED MY BRUSHES AND THEN NEEDED TO USE THEM BEFORE THEY HAD TIME TO DRY. IN THAT CASE YOU CAN YOU A BLOW DRYER ON A LOW SETTING TO HELP SPEED THE PROCESS UP. I DON'T RECOMMEND IT UNLESS YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BECAUSE TOO MUCH HEAT CAN ALSO DAMAGE YOUR BRUSHES.

FIRST YOU WANT TO WET YOUR BRUSH AND TAKE A LITTLE PEA SIZED AMOUNT OF THE CLEANSER AND RUB IT THROUGH IT..YOU WANT TO BE CAREFUL TO NOT GET WATER INTO THE SHAFT AREA ( THE AREA THAT CONNECTS THE ACTUAL BRUSH TO THE HANDLE). IF YOU GET A LOT OF WATER IN THAT AREA THE GLUE WILL LOOSEN AND THE BRUSH WILL COME APART.
TO GET THE MAKE UP THAT HAS BUILT UP IN THE BRISTLES YOU WANT TO SWIRL THE BRUSH IN YOUR HAND. THIS GETS THE MAKEUP OUT WITHOUT DAMAGING THE THE BRUSH.

I DON'T RECOMMEND IT UNLESS YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BECAUSE TOO MUCH HEAT CAN ALSO DAMAGE YOUR BRUSHES. I HAVE INVESTED A LOT OF MONEY INTO MY MAKE UP BRUSHES. THEY ARE SUCH A NECESSITY TO GOOD MAKE UP APPLICATION. WITHOUT THE RIGHT TOOLS YOU WONT BE ABLE TO GET A PROFESSIONAL LOOK. WHEN YOU SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON JUST ONE BRUSH YOU NEED TO TAKE THE TIME TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN IT OTHERWISE IT WAS A WASTE OF MONEY FOR YOU. YOUR BRUSHES WILL NOT STAY IN GOOD SHAPE WITHOUT TAKING SOME TIME TO MAINTAIN THEM. EVEN IF YOU HAVENT SPENT MUCH ON YOUR BRUSH COLLECTION, YOU CAN STILL CLEAN THEM. ANY BRUSH WILL LAST LONGER WITH A LITTLE LOVING CARE.
IN ADDITION TO CLEANING THE BRUSHES, I ALSO TAKE TIME TO CLEAN THE CONTAINER THAT I STORE MY BRUSHES IN WITH THE SAME OLAY FOAMING FACE CLEANER. I DON'T WANT TO USE ANYTHING TOO HARSH THAT WILL POSSIBLY LEAVE SOME RESIDUE ON THE BRUSHES. I TRY TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS TRYING TO PREVENT A BREAK OUT SO I LIKE TO USE THE FACIAL CLEANSER TO CLEAN UP EVERYTHING THAT INVOLVES THE BRUSHES.
YOU SHOULD CLEAN YOUR BRUSHES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I LIKE TO CLEAN MINE ABOUT ONCE A WEEK BEING I USE A LOT OF COLORS AND LOTS OF DIFFERENT PRODUCTS. AT THE LEAST YOU SHOULD CLEAN THEM ONCE A MONTH. IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH BREAKING OUT YOU SHOULD BE CLEANING THEM MORE. YOU WILL START TO SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN YOUR SKIN WHEN YOU START CLEANING YOUR BRUSHES ON A REGULAR BASIS.
I HOPE THIS HAS ANSWERED YOUR QUESTIONS. ITS A PRETTY EASY JOB AND IN JUST MINUTES YOU WILL HAVE ALL YOUR BRUSHES CLEANED AND READY TO USE FOR THE NEXT TIME! TAKE THE TIME, ITS THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. YOU WILL SEE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR SKIN WHEN YOU START REGULARLY CLEANING YOUR BRUSHES.
