We get it — this can take a good chunk of time out of your day and you want to avoid it as much as possible. The good news? You don't have to clean your brushes every day. As long as your skin is clear and you aren't dealing with any allergies or infections, Jenny recommends lightly wiping the bristles on a towel in between uses, which will extend the amount of time you can go between washes. "Wet washing once a week isn’t realistic for most people, so if you can use a spray cleanser every one to two weeks and do a full wet wash once a month, that should be fine," she said. But if you are oily and prone to breakouts, wash more consistently.
Professional makeup artists, you don't get to be lazy here. "Makeup brushes absolutely, 100 percent, need to be thoroughly washed after every single client. Period."
