When I was younger it never occurred to me that my blemishes on my face were due to not washing my makeup brushes. Once I finally figured it out (that a clear face with no pimples and less redness,) washing my brushes every day became priority. I then went about testing a bunch of different soaps with various price points. I hated spending so much for a wash when it either went out too fast or didn’t take out all the grime aka the liquid foundation or glittery eyeshadow.
I finally found the perfect soap for me
Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap, you can find at any health store and even Target and Trader Joe’s. I wouldn’t buy it at Target though, it’s double the price than at Trader Joe’s. I bought my big bottle at Trader Joe’s 6 months ago for only $10, they have since raised the price to $11 but I am not complaining. It’s organic and they come in different scents, but they had only had Peppermint at TJs so I got that one. Here is the website in case you want to check it out.
The bottle is huge and I love how I have barely made a dent in the bottle with my washing every day. I pour it in a travel size bottle to make it easier to pour on.
I love seeing the makeup drip out while I rub the soap into my brush
Then rinse in my bowl, I bought a pack of 4 at the dollar store. I always use luke warm water never hot because the hot water may cause the brush to shed and glue to come undone from the brush.
I lay them flat on my towel and they dry within a couple of hours
These are some brushes I washed earlier in the day and since they were dry I put them back in the holder
What do you use to wash your makeup brushes?

Glad someone is giving a shout out to Dr. Bronners! The bar soap is also perfect for Beauty Blenders instead of their line of solid cleaners.

Great post! I also did a post on how to clean your makeup brushes 🙂 I happen to love the soap you used, I actually use that same brand of soap as my body soap (lavender one), as they are so organic and much better for you than the more generic brands.

I clean my brushes with a mild shampoo but I want to try a solid brush cleanser soon. They have pretty good reviews and have quite reasonable prices.
