How To Clean Your Makeup Brushes Naturally

I’ll admit I’m pretty lazy when it comes to cleaning my makeup brushes but I’m trying to get better at it. After looking up a dozen different methods for cleaning your brushes naturally I came up with a combo that works well for me. 

1. Gently dip your brushes in a small bowl of oil (I used almond oil), just enough to cover the tips. Dry brush as much makeup off as you can remove on a paper towel. 

2. Next, swirl your brush around in a natural cleanser (like Dr.Bronner’s) mixed with water like  and rinse under water until it is clean. 

3. Dip brushes in a small bowl of white vinegar to sanitize them. 

4. Ring out as much moisture as you can from the brushes and lay flat to dry.
