How often should I replace my brushes?

Asked a year ago
The frequency of brush replacement varies depending on factors such as usage, brush quality, and personal preference. However, it is generally recommended to replace brushes every three to six months. Regularly replacing brushes ensures optimal performance and maintains good hygiene. Over time, brushes collect product buildup, dirt, and bacteria that can lead to skin irritation and breakouts. In addition, brush bristles may become frayed, affecting their effectiveness and application. If you notice shedding bristles, changes in brush texture, or unpleasant odors, it's a sign that brushes should be replaced. It's essential to clean brushes frequently and store them properly to prolong their lifespan. Ultimately, your intuition and observation play a crucial role in determining when it's time to replace your brushes.
