A: Don’t submerge your brushes in any type of liquid! Even though the glue used in the brush construction. Over time the brush will become weaker and water can shorten the life of your brush. We recommend that you use a natural brush cleaner (like Glimpse Gel Cleanser) that is also good for the skin and follow up with an astringent/toner that can condition the bristles.

How often should you clean your brushes?
We suggest cleaning your brushes once a week. If you feel you are getting excess build up on your brush, or have excessively oily skin, than you may want to do it more than once a week, to help prevent bacteria from harboring. Also, it is important to avoid sharing your brushes. If you are sharing yourbrushes than we recommend washing them often. This will wear the brush much more quickly, but will help to prevent the spreading of bacteria.

Q: How do I clean my Glimpse Brushes?

A: In the palm of your hand, mix together the Glimpse Gel Cleanser and a little water (to create a nice lather), swirl your brush back and forth in the palm of your hand (you should see the lather becoming darker as your Mineral Treatment washes off). Rinse under lukewarm water. Repeat this process until your Glimpse Brush is thoroughly clean and the lather is clear. Pat dry with a soft cloth or towel. You can also mist with a fine layer of your Glimpse Toner to help condition brush bristles (optional).

Lay the brush flat on towel to dry. Synthetic fiber brushes require a little longer too dry than animal hair brushes. We suggest giving them 12-24 hours to dry. You may want to alternate your brushes when washing so not all of your brushes wet at the same time.
