Cleaning your makeup brushes with baby shampoo can help remove product buildup. However, it’s important to note that this does not disinfect the makeup brushes and kill all the bacteria. Because of this, most people use this method throughout the week. Then they disinfect their makeup brushes once per week. 

Cleaning Makeup Brushes With Baby Shampoo

To clean your makeup brushes with baby shampoo, you only need a glass, baby shampoo, and your makeup brushes. 

First, fill the glass partially full with warm water. You don’t want to put too much water in the glass, or it will overflow. 

Next, put a drop of baby shampoo into the glass. Just a tiny drop will work perfectly. Too much baby shampoo will leave a residue on your makeup brushes. 

Then, swirl the water in a circle using one of your makeup brushes. This will effectively mix the baby shampoo with the water. 

After that, put your makeup brushes in the water and let them soak. Let them soak for 15-20 minutes. That is more than enough time to soak them. If you soak makeup brushes for too long, it can damage the brush beyond repair. 

Finally, take the brushes out of the cup, rinse them, and dry them on a towel. This will also remove any additional product buildup still on the brush. If it’s been a while, you might have to wipe them on a towel a few times. Lay them out to dry, and they’ll be ready to use again in the morning. After that, learn how to disinfect makeup brushes!
