What is the best way to care for my new By Georgina brushes?

To ensure the longest life of your By Georgina brushes, here are our tips to keep them soft, shiny and clean!

Wash your brushes at least once per week using shampoo or baby oil for more persistent makeup.

1. Wet the brush head in cold water then swirl the tip into the shampoo or soap until it lathers. Continue to swirl until all makeup is removed.

2. Rinse the brush head under running water until all detergent is removed then squeeze out the excess water.

3. Groom the tip of your brush back to it's original shape and leave on a flat surface to dry.

4. For more persistent makeup such as lipstick and eye liner, dip the tip of your brush in baby oil and swirl over a tissue to help break down the product. Shampoo your brush as normal to remove the oil residue.

Avoid submerging the entire brush in water as this will corrode the ferrule over time.

Avoid harsh cleaning solutions as these may damage the natural brush fibres.
