This Irish makeup brush cleanser is an absolute lifesaver because those brushes can get Nasty with a capital N

We all need to clean our makeup brushes more. It's so easy to forget and just go about your daily, weekly and monthly routine without giving it a second thought. The reality of the situation is, when you don't clean your brushes, bacteria starts to grow on them, and it's exacerbated if they are in a confined place like your handbag or hanging out on the bathroom counter. I don't want to scare you, but I want to pry your eyes open to what could potentially happen if you don't clean your brushes.

The bacteria that grows on your brushes ends up being rubbed all over your face and into delicate and easily infected places like your eyes. These infections can be bacterial, fungal or even viral and can lead to permanent scarring of your skin, acne or cold sores, conjunctivitis, or even blindness in extreme situations.

You should be washing your brushes on a weekly or - at most - a monthly basis. It is a chore though, so to make things a little easier, I came across this absolute gem.

The product is completely natural leaving your brushes clean and a whistle and soft to the touch after. It's chemical-free, so you aren't damaging the environment, your skin or your brushes. It comes in a handy metal tin making if effortless to clean your brushes.

How it works
