Using an effective facial cleanser and applying makeup with dirty makeup brushes is like pouring water into a basket as far as fighting breakouts is concerned. Some people aren’t aware that their makeup brushes should be cleaned, and some who know this are just too lazy to do it. The thing is, it takes nothing from you.

For the sake of your skin and to make the brushes last longer, wash personal makeup brushes at least every fortnight.
