Calling all our Beauty Queens, please read and take note.

Washing your make-up brushes not only makes them look new and shiny but it will take away a major majority of dirt, oil and bacteria that can build up over time and become harmful for your skin.

So, wait a second can dirty brushes cause me breakouts and spots?

Cristina Monaco, Certified Physician Assistant of Schweiger Dermatology Group in New York warns us ““Build-up of dirt and oils on your makeup brushes can cause acne breakouts and possibly rashes called dermatitis".

Ewwww I hear you say in your head, but how do I even start cleaning my brushes? We got you Queen! Below is 5 simple steps as to how you can clean your makeup brushes:

1. Wet the makeup brushes with lukewarm water.
2. Using a cleanser of choice into the palm of your clean hand.
