Fun Facts & Myths \u2013 True or False?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Brushes in the Past<\/strong>: In the Middle Ages, brushes were often made from pig bristles or horsehair. Today, thankfully, there are vegan alternatives like synthetic fibers, which are easier to clean and not tested on animals. <\/p>\n

Brush care saves money<\/strong>: A well-maintained brush can last up to 10 years or more, making it much more economical and environmentally friendly in the long run.<\/p>\n

\u201cCleaning with hot water is better\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 False!
<\/strong>Hot water can dissolve the glue that holds the bristles together, causing the brush to fall apart. Lukewarm water is ideal! <\/p>\n

“You can use any cleaning product”<\/strong> \u2013 Nope!
<\/strong>Harsh chemicals can damage your brushes, dry out the bristles, and make them brittle over time.<\/p>\n

“Cleaning once a month is enough”<\/strong> \u2013 False!
<\/strong>Makeup brushes should be cleaned weekly, as bacteria can multiply on them very quickly.<\/p>\n

“Dish soap is suitable”<\/strong> \u2013 NO!
<\/strong>Dish soap dries out the bristles, making them hard and brittle over time.<\/p>\n

Step by Step: How to Properly Clean Your Brushes<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Wet the brush:<\/strong> Hold the brush under lukewarm water, but make sure the water doesn’t reach the handle, as it can loosen the glue.<\/li>\n
  2. Clean: <\/strong>Gently rub the bristles over the solid brush cleanser. Rotate the brush slightly to ensure all sides are cleaned. <\/li>\n
  3. Rinse:<\/strong> Rinse the brush with clean water until no cleanser residue remains.<\/li>\n
  4. Reshape:<\/strong> Gently reshape the bristles back to their original form.<\/li>\n
  5. Dry:<\/strong> Lay the brush flat on a towel and let it air dry. Do not stand it upright! If water seeps into the handle, it can damage the glue. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
