2. Massage the brush with soap. Swipe your brush gently in your palm with liquid soap or shampoo. Swirl the brushes into the soap to get rid off the oil and dirt in there. If you have more brushes to wash, set each one aside after soaping it up.

3. Rinse again. Rinse it again with water. Be sure that the water doesn't touch your brush's handle.
