- Dissolve heavy, long-wear, and waterproof makeup
- Sanitize bristles
- Dry almost instantly

Why Brush Hygiene Matters
For a medspa environment and for personal use, clean brushes are not just a “nice to have”:
- Dirty brushes can transfer bacteria, oil, and debris back onto the skin
- This can aggravate acne, irritation, and post-treatment sensitivity
- For professional makeup services, strict hygiene is non-negotiable
Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner gives a fast, effective way to:
- Deep clean between clients
- Refresh brushes at home between uses
- Maintain soft, responsive bristles so your makeup applies more smoothly
