If your makeup isn’t applying smoothly or your skin feels irritated for no clear reason, your makeup brushes may be overdue for a wash. Dirty brushes trap oil, bacteria, and old product — and putting them back on your face can lead to breakouts and inflammation.
To clean them properly, use a rubber suction brush-cleaning pad to gently work buildup out of the bristles. Use with a gentle but effective brush cleanser. Or, even better, consider Monat Revive Shampoo, which cleans thoroughly without stripping or damaging the brush fibers. Yes its a shampoo, but also a very effective little brush cleanser!
What to Avoid When Cleaning Makeup Brushes
- Don’t soak brushes overnight
- Don’t use harsh detergents or dish soap
- Don’t dry brushes standing upright (water loosens the glue)
Lay brushes flat or angled downward and air dry fully before using.
Clean brushes mean better makeup, calmer skin, and fewer mystery breakouts — one of the easiest upgrades you can make to your routine.
Some brushes need more than one pass. Keep swirling, working the bristles, and gently squeezing until the water runs completely clear and the cleaning pad is clean and sudsy again.
For extra sanitation, you can give the bristles a light mist of 70% alcohol — (optional), especially helpful if you’re acne-prone or sharing brushes.
