Brush up your cleansing lingo with Sephora brush cleaning products

Just as you wash your hair and cleanse your skin, it’s important to keep your makeup brushes and beauty blenders clean. Consider that the bacteria your skin comes into contact with on a daily basis makes its way to your makeup brushes and in turn, returns to your face. Break the bacteria cycle by using a cleansing spray, cleansing glove, brush cleanser, liquid cleanser or cleansing pad from the Sephora collection… With so many options, you’ll find at least one to fit your needs. Don’t know how to clean your makeup brush or beauty blender? Never fear, we’ll cover this and more with our ultimate guide to makeup brush cleaning...

Brush cleansing gloves

Featuring not one or two but seven patented texture sections, these handy cleansing gloves are ideal for quick and convenient cleaning. Simply pop the glove on and handle your beauty brushes, rubbing them over the cleansing pad sections. You’ll never worry about how to clean your makeup brush again!

Liquid brush cleansers

Another option for cleaning makeup brushes is a liquid cleanser. Boasting a unique formula that battles even stubborn bacteria build-up, liquid cleanser works its magic in just one session of use. Better yet, it's gentle enough to be used daily without damaging or affecting the surface of your makeup brush or blender. You’ll see your usual beautiful makeup results minus skin breakouts caused by bacteria build-up. Gorgeous!

Solid brush cleansers

Care for your beauty blender the same way you would your skin, with gentle yet effective cleansing formula. Solid cleansers take a similar approach to liquid cleansers but come in a soap-like design. How to clean your beauty blender with them? Simply rub your blender against the solid cleanser to create a lather, then work the suds into your blender until it has been thoroughly cleaned.

Silicone cleansing spray

If you use a silicon-based beauty brush or blender, you may want to introduce a silicone cleansing spray into your collection. These formulas are proven to kill up to 99% of bacteria which means the chance of spot-inducing elements getting into your skin is minuscule. Simply spritz the clear formula over the makeup brush you want to clean and leave it to work its magic. Easy peasy!

Cleansing pads and mats

A final option for keeping your brushes bacteria-free is a cleansing pad. How to clean your makeup brush with a cloth-like device? Simple - rub it over the body and bristles of your brush while also using a cleansing spray to create a lather. Cleansing mats take a similar approach and use textured sections to infiltrate and scrub even the tightest corners of a makeup brush. All that's left behind is beautiful, bacteria-free skin!
