or soap and rub gently with fingers to get a good lather for a few minutes," says makeup pro Christabel Draffin."Hold brushes under running water, checking until there’s no lather left on it.

. Swirl your brush in the bowl to clean, then watch it spin dry in seconds. "It’s a brush cleaner’s dream," says Caroline."If there is still residue on the brush, I repeat the process. If not, I squeeze the water out of the brush and lay it flat on a towel next to the sink to dry," says Christabel. This ensures the water doesn’t drain into the handle and rot the wood or remove the glue. "I also like to spray them with lavender so they smell fabulous," adds Caroline.

So best to stick to the method above.Cleaning your brushes may be one more chore to add to the weekly cleaning rota, but hey there’s a winning payoff. Clean your brushes regularly, and your skin will improve.
