The trick to cleaning makeup brushes in just five minutes

Cleaning brushes is essential to achieve good makeup. Experts never tire of warning about the importance of having these tools clean to prevent infections because they are a culture of bacteria and also to extend their useful life.

In recent years, several experts have shared their tricks to easily clean brushes. One of them is with the spray that is sold in the main cosmetic stores, but they can also be washed with soap and water and the help of an exfoliating glove.

Now another influencer has shown an alternative that many can do today at home because they surely have the necessary product: micellar water. Nikki, from the @uglyducklingskincare account, explains in a video how to have your brushes like new in just five minutes.

It's as easy as using micellar water, a makeup remover product that helps remove all makeup in just a few seconds. The prescriber fills a glass with micellar water and immediately wets her brushes well, so that they soak up the product well and extract the product.

Next, pass them through a silicone mat to clean them thoroughly and then, in another bowl, add water and a little soap - or micellar water again - to finish rinsing the bristles.

It is important not to wet the metallic part and let the brushes air dry.
