So, you know why you should be washing your brushes and you know what to wash them with, but how exactly do you wash them?
"Rinse your brush head under warm water, squeeze a little product into the palm of your hand, swirl the brush head in the product, and use your fingers to tease at the base of the brush to make sure it's cleansed thoroughly, then rinse in warm water," Martin explained. For the ones that might need a little more attention, she suggests using a rubber mitt or a block of soap to help break down the buildup. Continue this process until the water coming from the bristles runs clear.
Once finished with the actual cleaning part, Young likes to "run the brush under a tepid tap, squeeze out all of the water, and remould the brush with my fingers before setting it to dry."
