I put my sponges in warm water with a few drops of liquid soap and/or baking soda and dry them in sunlight. How does one clean brushes though ? I only dust them few times. I use them quite frequently to powder my face or use powder foundation. Any thoughts ?

Well but if we don't wasg the brushes at all, don't you think that it can cause skin irritation or even infection???? Please tell me any other alternative if you know. Thanxx...

I wash mine in warm water with a little soap. I wash mascara brushes, too. It is easy, and when they dry up, they are so nice and clean, I think they even work better because all the buildup is gone.

Washing it should be!!! But afterwards have it air dried only and not sun-dried. It will cause your brushes to harden if you dry them up by sun.

Yes, I don't dry them in out in the sun. I leave the brushes to air dry on a towel or paper towel. If you want them to dry faster, you can gently press paper towel to the brush, several times, removing water.

I clean mine something similar to you, I rub them quite hard when rubbing in the liquid soap to make sure that I get all the makeup off. I haven't done it in ages so I must do it soon. A Lot of my brushes need replacing, what I have I have absolute ages, I think if you look after your products they last longer.

OMG! I don't wash my brushes. I just brush them back and forth on something to clean them up. I have to do these tips tomorrow. Thanks a lot.

I wash my make-up brushes frequently, thoroughly with warm water, little detergent powder added & gently wash them, roll in a cotton cloth, keep under fan air, they'll be dried and looks clean, greasy/ oily brushes like mascara brush, etc.., i first wipe with a cotton turpentine oil added to it & clean thoroughly.

Dip cotton in warm water and just clean the face overall. If i feel tough to clean i add soap in warm water.Then i use soap and wash my face with cold water.

I don't bother with cleaning my sponges.. I just use a new one everyday. I get them in packages of 40, so once I use one, I throw it out when Im done.
