Why Cleaning Your Makeup Tools Matters

Regularly cleaning your makeup tools is crucial for several reasons. First, it prevents the buildup of bacteria, oils, and dead skin cells that can accumulate on surfaces and lead to breakouts or skin irritation. This is especially important for cream-based products like Multi-Bene Sticks, which can harbor germs if not properly maintained.

Second, clean tools ensure even and smooth application. When your brushes or the surface of your sticks are coated with old product, they can become streaky or patchy, compromising your look. Finally, proper care extends the life of your products, saving you money and reducing waste. By investing a few minutes in cleaning, you protect both your skin and your beauty collection.

• Prevents bacterial buildup and skin breakouts
• Ensures smooth, even application
• Extends the lifespan of your products

Step-by-Step: How to Clean Your Multi-Bene Sticks

Multi-Bene Sticks are cream-based and can attract dust and debris from your hands and environment. To clean them effectively, you'll need a gentle makeup brush cleaner or a mild soap, a soft cloth, and a small spray bottle with rubbing alcohol (optional).

Start by wiping the surface of the stick with a tissue to remove any excess product. Then, spray a small amount of cleaner onto a soft cloth and gently wipe the stick in a circular motion. Avoid soaking the stick, as excessive moisture can alter its texture. For a deeper sanitization, you can spritz the stick with rubbing alcohol and let it air dry for a few seconds. This method works well for all cream products, including our TOUCH - MULTI-BENE STICK // LIPS + CHEEKS and OSCILLATE - MULTI-BENE STICK // LIPS + CHEEKS.

• Use a gentle cleaner or mild soap
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth
• Sanitize with rubbing alcohol for extra hygiene

How to Wash Your Makeup Brushes

Brushes used with cream products need special attention. They can harbor product residue deep in the bristles, which can lead to bacteria growth and uneven application. To wash your brushes, you'll need a brush cleanser or a mild shampoo, lukewarm water, and a clean towel.

Wet the bristles with lukewarm water, being careful not to get water into the ferrule (the metal part) as this can loosen the glue. Apply a small amount of cleanser to your palm or a silicone brush mat and gently swirl the brush in it. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. Gently squeeze out excess water and reshape the bristles. Lay the brushes flat on a towel to dry, ideally with the bristles hanging off the edge to maintain their shape. Avoid drying them upright, as water can seep into the handle and damage the brush.

• Use lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser
• Avoid getting water in the ferrule
• Dry brushes flat to preserve shape

Caring for Your Brushes Between Washes

Between deep cleanings, you can maintain your brushes with a quick daily wipe. Use a microfiber cloth or a brush cleaning spray to remove surface product and keep your brushes ready for use. This is especially handy when you're using multiple shades from your Multi-Bene Sticks and want to avoid color mixing.

Additionally, store your brushes in a clean, dry place, preferably in a brush holder or case. This prevents dust accumulation and keeps them organized. For your Multi-Bene Sticks, always replace the cap tightly after use to prevent them from drying out or collecting debris. With these simple habits, your tools will stay in top condition.

• Daily wipe with a microfiber cloth
• Store brushes in a clean, dry place
• Always cap your Multi-Bene Sticks tightly

How Often Should You Clean Your Tools?

The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you use your products. As a general rule, wash your brushes at least once a week if you use them daily. For cream products like Multi-Bene Sticks, you can clean the surface every few days or whenever you notice buildup. If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, consider cleaning more frequently to minimize bacteria transfer.

Remember, your tools are an extension of your skincare routine. By keeping them clean, you're not only protecting your skin but also ensuring that your makeup applies beautifully every time. Make it a habit to incorporate cleaning into your weekly routine, and you'll see the difference in your application.

• Wash brushes weekly for daily use
• Clean stick surfaces every few days
• Increase frequency for sensitive skin

Caring for your Multi-Bene Sticks and brushes doesn't have to be a chore.
