Time to Clean My Brushes and DIY Brush Spot Cleanser


It's time for me to cleanse my brush so I might show you guys how I cleanse my brush and I also gonna show you my DIY brush spot cleanser that I use cleanse my brush after I put on my makeup. I did the thorough brush cleansing every one or two weeks depending on how dirty my brush is he he he...


Uwahhhh... Take a look at those dirty brushes!!


This is what I use to cleanse my brush. I bought it because it's BOGOF and was gonna use it for the dishes (which I did) but then I try to use it to cleanse my brushes instead of the usual shampoo and it turns out great!! It cleanses well, keep the bristles soft and smells really good too!!


1. Put water in a plate.
2. Put a decent amount of cleanser. I use about a table spoon.
3. Swirl the brushes gently into the solution.


4. Swirl your other brushes one after another.
5. Soak the brushes for a while (1-2 minutes).
6. Put water on other plate and add a tablespoon of cleanser or use the same plate if you like and change the water.


7. Swirl each brushes in another cleansing solution.
8. Check if the brushes are clean.
9. See how the other plate is less muddy than the other?


10. Make another solution and swirl the brushes to make sure they are really clean and wash with water to get rid of the suds.
11. The third solution is still clear so the brushes are totally clean.
12. Put on a towel and let dry.

DIY Brush Spot Cleanser

Rather than spends a lot of money on a so so brush cleanser why not make it your own? It's really easy and cheap to make too!! Here are the ingredients list:
- Liquid Soap but some use shampoo, hand soap or dish soap.
- Rubbing Alcohol
- Water
- Spray Bottle


I use this cute spray bottle for the container and 70% rubbing alcohol. Some use two type of alcohol like 70% and 95% but I think 70% is enough.


I drop about 4 table spoon of liquid soap. I use Cussons Baby Bottle and Nipple cleanser but some might use shampoo, hand soap or dish soap. Make sure not to put too much soap though otherwise it will become soapy and you don't want any bubble suds comes out of this cleanser.


I add about 2/3 of alcohol in the bottle.


Fill the rest of the bottle with water and shake. A leave-in conditioner might be added to the solution to make the brush bristle smooth but since the cleaner that I use already keeps the bristles soft and smooth I don't add any.


To use the brush spot cleanser just spray the solution onto tissue or towel and swirl the brush gently and the brushes will be clean again. I usually use this after I finish putting on any makeup. The brushes will dry quickly from the alcohol.

    2. Semprotin alkohol buat disinfektan, itu ketika usai dibersihkan pake sabun??
      Atau
      Ketika brush sudah benar-benar kering baru disemprot alkohol?
