It’s not a joke — your makeup brushes can actually make you sick! While the task of cleaning each one individually sounds like a colossal waste of time, you might rethink the tedious task after you find out about the many gross things that can happen if you don’t. Keep in mind that this article is only meant to inform you about what can potentially happen; it’s not meant to freak you out! Regular brush cleanings are worth considering for the following reasons. Your makeup application may suffer. When traces of foundation, contour, and powder get caked up and stuck to the bristles of your makeup brushes, you’re likely to make a mess of your face. On top of that, makeup brushes can become weak and even break from lingering makeup residue, even your eyelash curler! If mascara accumulates on it, it can end up breaking your lashes. DANGER IN THE MAKEUP CASE What Happens if You Don’t Clean Your Makeup Brushes Regularly?
Dirty brushes can harm your skin. When your skin is exposed to dirty brushes filled with bacteria, it can become stressed out and congested, leading to collagen loss and premature wrinkles. So, yes, dirty makeup brushes can literally age you! Acne and pimples love bacteria, too, especially when you use wet makeup products such as foundation and creams. Bacteria thrives on the moisture, possibly leading to breakouts. Not washing your brushes may lead to infections and viruses. Bacteria and viruses can enter your body through the pores on your skin, allowing them to infect your system. It can lead to herpes, the flu, pink eye, or even a Staphylococcus infection! Hurry, rush and clean those makeup brushes — twice! It’s important to keep in mind that spot cleaning your makeup brushes here and there does not replace deep-cleaning, which should be done at least once a week to keep them safe for your face!
