I’m a makeup artist and you stored your makeup brushes the wrong way – this is the big reason you keep getting acne

MOST OF US keep our makeup brushes on our vanity table for easy access to apply makeup.

But one makeup artist showed it could cause acne.

Rifah, who is also a cosmetic chemist, explained on TikTok that storing your makeup brushes in a pot could lead to more skin problems.

She said, “You know your desk? How often do you clean it because it’s full of dust?

“I have to do it every day.”

And the expert said the same goes for your makeup brushes, as the dust will fall on them too, which is likely to cause a breakout.

Instead, she recommends using an acrylic pot with a lid and various compartments to keep dust from falling on your makeup brushes.

The compartments also help keep clean and dirty makeup brushes separate – so there’s no cross-contamination.

The video amassed over 100,000 views – but many claimed the pot was quite expensive and had their own hacks to keep their brushes clean.

One wrote: “Put one pot upside down on top of the other pot.”

Another person suggested, “I just put a cloth on top of it over my brush pot… such unnecessary man.”

A third commented: “I keep them in my makeup bag or leave the pot in my closet.”

However, others were excited about the idea, with one saying: “This is amazing!! I need this.”

“Okay, I need this!”
