Keeping your makeup brushes clean is essential for both the longevity of your tools and the health of your skin. For RMS Beauty enthusiasts, caring for your brushes ensures that your cream-based products glide on smoothly and that your skin stays free from breakouts. In this guide, we’ll focus on two beloved tools: the Skin2Skin Classic Fan Brush and the Back2Brow Brush, and share the best practices for cleaning and maintaining them.

RMS Beauty is known for its groundbreaking clean beauty formulas that are as kind to your skin as they are to the environment. Your brushes are an investment, and with proper care, they can last for years. Whether you’re a makeup artist or a beauty lover, learning how to clean your brushes correctly will transform your daily routine. Let’s dive into the simple steps to keep your RMS brushes in pristine condition.
Why Clean Makeup Brushes Matter
Regularly cleaning your makeup brushes is not just about hygiene; it’s about performance. Dirty brushes can harbor bacteria, oil, and old product residue that can lead to breakouts and skin irritation. Moreover, when your brushes are caked with leftover makeup, they don’t blend your products as seamlessly, which can ruin your look.
For RMS Beauty’s cream-based formulas, clean brushes are especially important. Cream products can cling to bristles and dry out, making them less effective over time. By incorporating a simple cleaning routine into your week, you’ll extend the life of your brushes and ensure that your makeup always looks flawless.
- Prevents bacteria buildup that can cause acne and irritation.
- Maintains the softness and shape of the bristles.
- Ensures your cream products apply evenly and blend smoothly.
How to Clean Your Skin2Skin Classic Fan Brush
The Skin2Skin Classic Fan Brush is a versatile tool perfect for applying highlighter, bronzer, or setting powder with a delicate, airy finish. Its soft synthetic bristles are easy to clean, but they require a gentle touch to maintain their shape. Here’s a step-by-step method to keep your fan brush looking and performing like new.
Start by wetting the bristles with lukewarm water, being careful not to submerge the ferrule (the metal part) as water can loosen the glue over time. Apply a small amount of mild shampoo or a gentle brush cleanser to your palm and swirl the brush in it, working up a lather. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear, then gently squeeze out excess water with a clean towel. Reshape the bristles and lay the brush flat to dry, ideally on the edge of a counter so air can circulate.
For a deep clean, you can also use a silicone brush mat to work the cleanser through the bristles. Remember to clean your fan brush at least once a week if you use it daily. With proper care, the Skin2Skin Classic Fan Brush will remain soft and effective, making it a staple in your collection.
- Use lukewarm water, not hot, to avoid damaging the bristles.
- Avoid getting water in the ferrule to prevent loosening.
- Dry the brush flat to maintain its shape.
Caring for Your Back2Brow Brush
The Back2Brow Brush is designed to perfectly groom and fill in your brows with the Back2Brow Powder. Its angled, firm bristles are ideal for precise application, but they can accumulate product and oils from your skin. Regular cleaning will keep the bristles stiff and effective, ensuring your brows always look defined.
To clean your Back2Brow Brush, follow a similar process but with a few adjustments. Since the bristles are denser, you may need to work the cleanser in more thoroughly. Use a gentle brush cleanser and massage the bristles with your fingers to break down the product. Rinse well and reshape the bristles with your fingers, then lay the brush flat to dry. Avoid using conditioner or fabric softener, as these can make the bristles too soft and reduce their precision.
For best results, clean your brow brush every two weeks, or more often if you use it daily. A well-maintained Back2Brow Brush will not only last longer but will also help you achieve those perfect, natural-looking brows that RMS Beauty is known for.
- Use a gentle cleanser and work it into the bristles thoroughly.
- Reshape the bristles while damp to maintain their angle.
- Dry flat to prevent water from loosening the glue.
General Brush Maintenance Tips
Beyond regular cleaning, there are a few extra steps you can take to ensure your RMS Beauty brushes stay in top condition. First, always store your brushes upright in a holder or lay them flat in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing them in airtight containers while damp, as this can promote mold growth.
Second, consider using a brush guard to help maintain the shape of your brushes as they dry. This is especially useful for the Skin2Skin Classic Fan Brush, which can lose its fluffy shape if not dried properly. You can also invest in a high-quality brush cleanser that is formulated for synthetic bristles, which are common in RMS Beauty brushes.
Finally, remember that even with the best care, brushes will eventually wear out. If you notice shedding or a change in texture, it may be time to replace them. But with proper maintenance, your RMS Beauty brushes can last for years, providing you with flawless makeup application every time.
- Store brushes upright or flat in a dry place.
- Use brush guards to maintain shape while drying.
- Replace brushes if they shed or lose their shape.
Caring for your RMS Beauty brushes is a simple yet crucial part of your beauty routine. By following these cleaning tips, you’ll not only extend the life of your tools but also ensure that your makeup looks flawless every time. Remember to clean your brushes regularly and store them properly, and they’ll continue to deliver the beautiful, natural looks you love.
