Here at Fitzness, we talk a lot about how important it is to keep your skin looking healthy and clean.\u00a0 With recommendations on things like facial cleansers, moisturizers, and exfoliates, we strongly believe that cleansing products help you achieve this healthy look.\u00a0 Keeping your actual skin clean is important, but what about the other objects that touch your face on a daily basis?\u00a0 These items accumulate dirt and grime, just like your skin.\u00a0 Towels and wash cloths are an obvious item we tend to keep clean on a regular basis, but few people think to clean their makeup brushes. Brushes retain dirt and grime just sitting in you makeup bag, being transported around when you travel, or by someone sneaking a quick touch-up with your brushes.<\/p>\n

So instead of pretending that your brushes aren\u2019t dirty, or spending money on expensive cleaning kits, try this super simple Do It Yourself cleaning solution!\u00a0 It won\u2019t break the bank and it will leave your makeup brushes sanitized, properly cleansed, and germ-free!<\/p>\n

You Will Need:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Original Dawn Dish Soap<\/p>\n

Distilled White Vinegar<\/p>\n

Water<\/p>\n

Glass Measuring Cup That Holds 2 Cups<\/p>\n

Towel<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mix 2\/3 cup of white vinegar with \u00bd teaspoon of Dawn Dish Soap in the glass measuring cup.\u00a0 Fill the rest of the measuring cup (all the way to the 2 cup line) with hot water.<\/li>\n
  2. Place your makeup bushes, brush down, in the solution and allow them to soak for about 5 minutes.\u00a0 After soaking, rinse the brushes in the sink under cold running water.\u00a0 Keep rinsing until the water runs clear.\u00a0 Place the brushes on a towel and allow them to air-dry.\u00a0 After the brushes are dry, your makeup brushes are clean and will look like new!<\/li>\n
  3. For healthy skin and good hygiene, clean your makeup utensils about every 2-3 weeks.\u00a0 You can feel confident when you put on makeup that your face will be free from dirt and bacteria, leaving your skin looking flawless!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
