Synthetic fibre or natural hair: Which to choose and why?
In powder/blusher take-up, subtle suppleness and fine tip the natural hairs like squirrel or red sable are unbeatable.
However, today we have a wide choice of synthetic fibres at consistently high quality, but they have not yet reached the big role model. Due to the lack of the natural scaling at the fibres, the application of powder/blusher is a bit less even and fluent when using a brush made of synthetic fibres.
Which hair are the brushes made from?
According to the application purpose, we use above all red sable, squirrel, pony or goat hair.
The most valuable fine hairs like red sable or squirrel are carefully prepared under our own control in Germany, based on our rich experiences we have had over generations and in strict consideration of the German Hygiene and Production Regulations.
This distinguishes brushes clearly from many import products coming from countries where the workers often do not enjoy the advantages of a modern, healthy working place.
Also important to know: The animals are not bred for this purpose.
Why and how often should you clean your cosmetic brush?
Should you clean it already before you use it for the first time?
It is not necessary to clean it before you use it for the first time.
We like to give the following Cleaning and Maintenance Recommendations:
Your cosmetic brush reacts sourly to remains in the hair body! Remaining
cosmetics get hard,take away the suppleness and make the hair break.
Therefore our advice:
Wash out the brush regularly. We recommend a special soap which has been developed especially for our house (Order no. 4833),
based on vegetable oil, with reconditioning action, or a mild shampoo.
Please take care that the powder remains are removed especially at the edge of the ferrule. After rinsing get off the humidity by wiping the hair with a fine piece of cloth in direction of the tip bringing the brush to its original shape.
In the end let the hair dry completely.
This small effort pays off not only with a long “brush life”, but also the hair will keep its natural elasticity and suppleness again and again.
