Since you are buffing your brush on your skin, it is very important to keep it clean. If you brush seems full, but is not flowing well, it is probably in need of washing.

Your brush may be cleaned with brush cleaner or washed with mild soap or brush shampoo. To clean with brush cleaner, spray a clean paper towel or cloth with 2-4 spritzes of brush cleaner. Make sure your brush is in the “close” position and then gently wipe the bristles on the towel until bristles look clean. Allow brush to air dry.

We recommend that you only wash your brush with soap or brush shampoo when it is time to refill it with more powder, but if you need to wash it while there is still powder in it, pour the powder onto a clean piece of paper or into a clean container. Remove the end cap and set aside. Hold the brush horizontally under running water and wet only the bristles. Apply a small amount of soap in the palm of your other hand, and gently swirl the brush in the soap. Massage the bristles gently, then again hold it under running water, keeping in horizontal, or the bristles pointed downwards. When brush seems rinsed, squeeze bristles to see if more powder or soap remains, water should run clear. Repeat as necessary until the brush is completely clean. Squeeze bristles, then squeeze them inside a dry cloth to remove excess water and allow brush to dry overnight on its side. Once thoroughly dry, pour in remaining powder or refill the brush, then reapply the end cap.

If water gets inside the brush during cleaning, powder may clog inside the brush. This is easy to fix, find the white tube in the center of the bristles and gently poke something inside the tube. (A straightened paper clip works well.) Once the clump is broken up, the brush should dispense as usual. Remember to reapply at least every 2 hours.Clean your brush frequently with a brush cleaner and tissue or paper towel. When it is time for a refill, take the time to wash your brush thoroughly with a gentle soap and water, taking care to not allow water in the white tube inside the bristles that dispenses the powder.
