Sure, this technique is promising, but it seems skincare experts aren’t exactly sold. Caroline Brooks, skin specialist and founder of The Glass House salon and spa, has a few concerns. “Although I am all for new skincare hacks that can save time and money, I wouldn’t recommend using makeup brushes to remove makeup,” said Caroline. “Firstly, makeup brushes can harbour dirt, pollution and bacteria which could compromise your skin and cause rashes and acne breakouts, so you would have to wash the brushes every day.” Of course, the brush I used was clean to begin with, and as I mentioned, I washed the brush thoroughly after each use. You could use a gentle brush cleanser like ISOCLEAN Makeup Brush Cleaner, £12, in between cleanses, but I prefer baby shampoo.
