An inexpensive make-up brush cleaner..Read on!

It's normally part of my Sunday routine to wash my makeup brushes. I don't own many, but I am slowly expanding this collection :) It's really important to ensure that you regularly clean your make-up brushes and sponges to prevent the retention and transfer of bacteria and skin break outs.

Anyhoo, I have accidentally stumbled upon a great cleanser for all my make-up brushes:

Behold, Vosene Original Medicated Shampoo. I know what you're thinking this is a medicated anti dandruff shampoo and generally speaking, make-up brushes do not have dandruff (unless they're particularly nasty :P ).

Yesterday when getting ready to wash my brushes, I wasn't able to find the baby shampoo I normally use. Truth be told I was looking to replace that anyway, particularly as I think it's just too  mild to adequately clean the brushes thoroughly. I saw the above, lounging about in my bathroom cabinet and decided to give it a whirl. Let me tell you, its works fabulously! 

I found it cleansed the brushes really well and thoroughly, and worked much quicker than any other shampoo I have used to wash my make-up brushes with. A little drop goes a long way, particularly as it lathers up very well, so I think the existing bottle I have will last a long time as not much product is being used.

 A word of warning though, I have tried this shampoo over the years and have had no adverse reactions to it or any of its ingredients. If however you are trying this shampoo for the first time, I would just scan the ingredients to ensure there's nothing in there not suited to you and maybe do a patch test?

 The main component it has that differs from other shampoos is Salicylic Acid. In this particular shampoo, it's used an Anti-Dandruff agent, whilst it has also been used  as a topical treatment to treat a number of different skin conditions such as Psoriasis, Acne and Ichthyoses.

For me, this is a huge benefit as I know washing my brushes with this shampoo and then using those same brushes will not cause breakouts etc ( for me and my skin type at least), as the main ingredient is used in treatment of the skin.

My brushes were left soft and fluffy after using this so I would highly recommend it as both a Shampoo and brush cleaner. Its very inexpensive, retailing for between £1.70 - £3.00. You can get this from any supermarket, Boots or Chemist.

Give it a try and wash those make-up brushes!
