Summer's almost here!! And that means parties and chilling by the pool and spring season for dance. So we must go over the essentials in skin care, the most important being having clean makeup brushes. I know, i fall victim to this too, that sometimes we're all too lazy to clean them after Nutcracker and competition season, but we must! And it's very easy, so don't worry. It won't take forever. I tend to clean my brushes after every 2 shows, during the season, and every few weeks depending on how many events i attend, as i don't wear makeup every day. If you do, you should wash your brushes at least once a week, but no longer than every 2 ish weeks. If you constantly use gross makeup brushes, you run a bigger risk of infections and it can make you more prone to breakouts. Nobody wants that, obviously, so take out 15 minutes of your day to get clean! Trust me, your face will thank you for it.
What You Need:
- Olive oil (to soften the bristles)
- Dish soap (to clean off all the built up product)
- a bowl
That's it! Just 2 ingredients that every one has around their house. Just mix them together in the bowl and grab your brushes.
Washing Brushes

Washing a Beauty Blender (makeup sponge)
**Do this at the end, to make sure you have enough mixture for all your brushes first**

So that's it! It's super easy and you will totally benefit from it in the long run. If you don't use all your brushes, obviously, you won't need to clean them. Just don't do this when rocking an awesome manicure, as your nails might get ruined. Til next time! :-)
