Kuas make up harus dibersihkan secara rutin agar kulit tidak mengalami iritasi.

KOMPAS.com – Seberapa sering harus mencuci kuas makeup?

Pertanyaan ini mungkin pernah melintasi pikiranmu, terutama jika tak begitu sering mengaplikasikan riasan alias makeup tebal. Tak jarang juga, kebersihan kuas makeup terabaikan.

Padahal, menurut Asosiasi Akademi Dermatologi Amerika (AAD), kuas makeup yang kotor bisa merusak kulit.

Hal ini terjadi karena residu, kotoran, dan minyak menumpuk sehingga kuas menjadi tempat berkembang biak bakteri.

Lebih jauh, kuas makeup yang kotor bisa menyebabkan timbulnya jerawat, beruntus, dan ruam, bahkan infeksi seperti infeksi jamur dan E. coli.

Satu-satunya cara untuk mencegahnya adalah mencuci kuas makeup atau secara umum perlengkapan rias.

Selain alasan kesehatan, perlengkapan rias yang bersih juga membuat aplikasi lebih sempurna.

“Kebersihan dan perawatan adalah yang nomor satu untuk memastikan kuas kita awet dan lebih sempurna untuk mengaplikasikan riasan,” ujar makeup artist Wendi Miyake, seperti dilansir dari Vogue.

Perlengkapan rias adalah sebuah investasi. Maka, penting pula untuk memahami bagaimana membersihkan dan menjaga kualitasnya agar awet dalam jangka panjang.

Seberapa sering harus mencuci kuas makeup?

Untuk melindungi kulit dan membunuh bakteri berbahaya yang berpotensi ada di kuas makeup kita, bersihkanlah setiap tujuh hingga 10 hari, menurut AAD.

Bagi para makeup artist, mencuci kuas makeup setidaknya dilakukan seminggu sekali. Begitu pula untuk penggunaan pribadi.

“Sama jika kita mengaplikasikan riasan wajah harian. Saya juga merekomendasikan untuk mencuci kuas makeup secara menyeluruh seminggu sekali,” ucap makeup artist Troy Suratt, seperti dilansir dari Vogue.

Namun, ia menambahkan, kita perlu mencucinya lebih sering jika kerap berganti-ganti warna produk riasan.

Sementara untuk produk aplikator lainnya, seperti spons, disarankan agar dicuci lebih sering. Misalnya, seminggu dua kali atau bisa setiap hari jika memang sangat sering digunakan.

Gunakan sabun khusus pembersih spons dan kuas makeup untuk membersihkannya.

Hati-hati dengan produk pembersih tinggi alkohol atau mengandung bahan pelarut keras, karena kandungan-kandungan tersebut bisa merenggangkan lem-lem yang merekatkan bulu-bulu kuas, sehingga jika sering dilakukan bakal mengurangi potensi usia pakainya.
