While there are all sorts of cleansing formulas and kit designed especially for brush cleaning, these aren’t essential. There’s no need to splash out on an extra product when you already have everything you need on your bathroom shelf. Shampoo, Hand Wash, Face Wash and Foaming Cleansers will do the job beautifully, shifting away impurities just like they do for your hair, hands and face. Step 3: Once you have washed your brushes, simply squeeze the remaining water out with a tissue or clean towel, working from the tip of the brush hair to the base. Then, gently tease the brush hair into its natural shape. Expert tip: Spritz a scented Fix formula lightly over your brushes to give them a refreshing fragrance. If you go this route, you’ll pour the cleanser directly onto the brush, roll it around on the mat, then rinse and lay your brushes out to dry. As always, keep them flat to ensure that excess water wont seep into the brush and start to deteriorate the glue.
