Instructions
1
Before use, new brushes should be washed. Wet them with warm water, apply a drop of a mild shampoo or gel, lightly rub the pile with your fingers and rinse under a stream of warm water. Dry the brushes, spread them on a thick terry towel. Pay special attention to accessories that have handles made of natural wood. From the excess moisture, they can crack, and the lacquer - crawl. Before folding the brushes to dry, thoroughly blot with a towel of lint and wipe the handles.

Brushes for shadows and eyeliner after eachuse wipe with damp antibacterial napkins or cotton wool soaked in disinfectant lotion. After this procedure, the pile should be dried and the accessories removed for storage in a case. The brushes that you use daily can be stored in a glass pile up. However, accessories left outdoors can become dusty.

If you do not use the tools every day,store them in cases or clean linen bags. Do not put away wet damp brushes with traces of cosmetics - the nap can deteriorate or acquire an unpleasant odor.

Accessories for applying tone, corrector,creamy blush, and also a brush for applying masks, wash after each use. Devices for applying powder or dry shadows are enough to process once a week. In a small bowl with warm water, dissolve the shampoo, drip the tea tree oil into the solution and thoroughly rinse the pile. After the treatment, rinse tools in running water.

Before putting the brush to dry, blotnap towel and fingers give it the original shape. This is especially important for flat or figuratively cropped brushes. If the pile is not leveled, after drying, it will crumble, and the make-up will lie unevenly. Dropouts or breaking hairs - an indicator of wear of the brush. Replace it by purchasing a new, high-quality model.

After the baths with shampoo soak them in a disinfectant liquid - for example, a solution of chlorhexidine, which can be purchased at the pharmacy. After the treatment, pat the pile with a towel and dry as usual.
