Quick questions: brush care

Do I need soap and a cleaning pad?

Soap is the cleaning product; a pad or mat complements it with a textured working surface. A pad alone does not replace brush soap. Move the lathered bristles over it with light pressure, then rinse them.

How can I tell when a brush needs cleaning?

Visible makeup residue, hardened bristles or mixed colours are reasons to clean a brush. Wash brushes regularly according to use and textures rather than leaving residue to dry for a long time.

How do I keep water out of the ferrule and handle?

Wet only the bristles when washing and avoid prolonged soaking. Rinse the head carefully, gently squeeze out water and let the brush dry lying flat or with its bristles angled slightly downwards.

Which cleanser is also designed for makeup sponges?

Brush Soap Citro explicitly lists cosmetic brushes and beauty blenders as uses. Do not assume this applies to every soap or puff; also follow your tool’s care guidance.
