Shana King, Co-Founder of Adesign brushes shares her top five tips

1. Clean brushes once a week at home. Daily if your a Makeup Artist.

2. Steer away from alcohol base cleaners.  The Alcohol dries out the brushes. Use mild facial cleanser  or baby shampoo. Something with moisturizing property works best. 

Conditioner brushes once a month.  

Make sure you rinse with luke warm water. Hot water will cause glue to soften between handle and ferril. Do not submerse brush completely in water.

Always reshape and lie your brushes flat. Hang them over  the counter edge so they get fullness back. Don’t throw them back in kit while wet. Make sure they are completely dry before returning to brush roll or kit.

                                           Expert Quick tip: 

                          Use Facial Wipes for a fast clean up.          

                      Allow   brushes to dry a little before using.

    After I wash my cosmetic brushes, I hang them on my husband’s shaving brush stand–it works perfectly!
