or something like olay gentle wash(like for ur skin)What is the best to wash your professional makeup brushes with?
I use baby shampoo. Brushes are made of hair, shampoo cleans hair. I also hang my brushes upside down to dry, to prevent water from getting into the crimps or glue of the brush - I do this by looping a rubber band over the brush and onto a towel bar.What is the best to wash your professional makeup brushes with?
Many professional makeup artists use a specialized cleaning solution for their brushes. These solutions are available at most beauty supply stores.


Personally I use shampoo for normal hair and it works wonderfully.


Run the bristles of the makeup brush under warm running water.


Apply a small amount of shampoo to bristles and work into a light lather.


Rinse bristles thoroughly under running water. You will notice that the water leaving the brush is tinted from old makeup.


Continue rinsing until no color leaves the brush.


Allow it to air-dry.
I just use antibacterial hand soap and warm water. I have a brush cleanser that I use every so often for a little extra germ zap, but just that and warm water works great, and I've had my brushes for years.
Use either a special brush cleanser, a baby shampoo, or a mild facial cleanser. All should work equally well!





Also, make sure you always dry your brushes upside down or angled downward. Otherwise, the water can pool up in the brush head and dissolve the glue that holds the bristles in!
You should try and wash your brushes thoroughly at least every three months.





There are professional brush cleaners on the market, but they can be harsh. To avoid irritation, use a daily cleanser or a mild washing up liquid to wash your brushes. This way, you're less likely to have an allergic reaction.





Reshape your brushes after washing, I tend to wrap them in a towel or kitchen paper, and let them dry thoroughly before reusing them. If your bristles frizz and begin to shed, it's time to buy a new brush again.





Hope this helps!
I really like MAC's brush cleanser. If you can't afford a brush cleanser, use a mild shampoo (like Johnson's baby shampoo) and be gentle on the brushes. Always rinse downwards (you only want to get water on the tips).





Gently squeeze out excess water and then air dry the brushes on a flat surface.
Johnson's baby shampoo is mild enough that it won't harm the brushes. Never use a lot just enough to get the brushes nice and clean. Also use mild warm water anything colder ot hotter will harm the brushes. After washing them dry them where the brush part are able to drip off any excess water.
i think baby shampoo is best
