Spot cleaning is not enough when using brushes on clients. Spot cleaning only cleans the surface of the brush and bristles, leaving product, oils, and bacteria trapped deeper inside the brush. Here are some reasons why you should be DEEP cleaning brushes after every client:
1. Cross-Contamination Prevention: Brushes pick up oils, bacteria, and skin particles from each person. Deep cleaning brushes eliminates these contaminants and ensures they are not transferred to another client, which could lead to skin infections or breakouts. It's especially crucial to avoid cross-contamination when working on multiple clients in the same day.
2. Maintaining Hygiene Standards: Professionalism in makeup artistry includes following strict hygiene practices. This shows you care about the safety of the clients skin and health. This in turn builds trust in artists services.
3. Optimal Brush Performance: For brushes to perform as if they are new and to the best of their ability, they must be clean. Clean brushes ensure precise application and a professional-quality finish every time.
4. Professional Reputation: People notice and appreciate the care that goes into maintaining tools. Clean brushes reflect the artist’s commitment to their craft and their clients’ well-being.
