Yes, you can wash your brushes with baby shampoo.
According to the provided reference, baby shampoo is specifically mentioned as a suitable cleaning agent for makeup brushes. The video, titled "How To Wash Makeup Brushes With Baby Shampoo," demonstrates the process of cleaning brushes using this method.
Here's why baby shampoo is a good option for cleaning brushes:
- Gentle Formula: Baby shampoo is formulated to be gentle on delicate skin and hair, making it suitable for cleaning brush bristles without causing damage or irritation.
- Effective Cleaning: It can effectively remove makeup residue, oils, and dirt from brushes.
- Accessibility: Baby shampoo is readily available and often more affordable than specialized brush cleansers.
How to wash your brushes with baby shampoo:
- Wet the Brush: Begin by wetting the brush bristles with lukewarm water. Avoid soaking the ferrule (the metal part) as this can loosen the glue and damage the brush over time.
- Apply Baby Shampoo: Pour a small amount of baby shampoo onto the palm of your hand or a small dish.
- Swirl and Lather: Gently swirl the brush bristles in the shampoo, working it into a lather. The video reference highlights cleaning the top half of the bristles where dirt accumulates the most.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the bristles thoroughly under lukewarm water, continuing until the water runs clear. Make sure to remove all traces of soap.
- Reshape and Dry: Gently squeeze out excess water and reshape the brush head with your fingers. Lay the brushes flat or angled downward to dry to prevent water from running into the ferrule.
By following these simple steps and using baby shampoo, you can effectively clean your makeup brushes and keep them in optimal condition.
