Standard bar soap<\/h2>\n<p>A bathroom staple in many peoples homes that is simply used to wash your hands or as a body soap, but have you thought about using it as a brush cleaner? A perfect cleaner due to its nourishing properties and you know its safe for the skin.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>2. Liquid dish soap<\/h2>\n<p>Another product just lying around the house. Dish soap is perfect for getting those stubborn foundation stains out or clogged up gel liner on your brushes. Smells great too!<\/p>\n<h2>3. Organic baby shampoo<\/h2>\n<p>With bacteria killing benefits this does the trick to remove those tough makeup stains that cling on to brush bristles. Safe for babies so definitely safe for you!<\/p>\n<h2>How to clean your brushes using one of the above cleaners:<\/h2>\n<p>1. Wet your hand and using your chosen cleaner place some in the palm of your hand.<\/p>\n<p>2. Swill your chosen brush in the palm of your hand in circular motions, also swill the opposite direction.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Rinse the brush under warm water and check if clean<\/h2>\n<p>if not repeat steps one and two until the water from the brush runs clear and you&#8217;re happy with how clean they are.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>4. Once the brush is clean, rinse your hands and ensure all soap residue is washed from the brush.<\/h2>\n<p>This one of the most important steps when it comes to how to clean makeup brushes naturally!<\/p>\n<h2>5. Place the brush flat on an old towel or paper towel.<\/h2>\n<p>Air drying is best but if you have to then use a hairdryer on a low heat setting. Laying the brushes flat ensures they dry properly as opposed to standing them upright.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Repeat these steps with all of your other brushes.<\/h2>\n<h2>7. Squeeze any excess water from all of the brushes at the end.<\/h2>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>8.
