How to Keep Your Jane Iredale and ZO Skin Health SPF Brushes Clean All Year Long, Especially in the Summer

Updated: Oct 5, 2024





As the summer sun blazes and we spend more time outdoors, keeping our skin protected becomes a priority. Jane Iredale and ZO Skin Health offer top-tier SPF brushes that make reapplying sunscreen easy and convenient. However, to ensure they function effectively and remain hygienic, it’s crucial to maintain them properly. Here’s a detailed guide on keeping your SPF brushes clean all year round, with a special focus on the summer months.






Why Cleaning Your SPF Brushes is Important

SPF brushes come into direct contact with your skin, often multiple times a day, making them prone to accumulating dirt, oil, and bacteria. Regular cleaning ensures:

  • Optimal performance: A clean brush dispenses product evenly, providing better protection.

  • Skin health: Prevents breakouts and skin irritation caused by dirty brushes.

  • Longevity: Proper maintenance extends the life of your brushes, making them a worthwhile investment.


Cleaning Routine for SPF Brushes

Daily Maintenance
  1. Post-Use Wipe Down:

  2. After each use, gently wipe the brush head with a dry tissue to remove any excess product.

  3. This quick step helps prevent buildup and keeps the bristles free from clumps.

  4. Sanitizing Spray:

  5. Use an alcohol-free brush sanitizing spray.

  6. Lightly mist the brush head and allow it to air dry before capping it.

  7. This reduces bacteria without damaging the bristles.


Weekly Deep Cleaning
  1. Gather Supplies:

  2. Gentle soap or brush cleaner

  3. Lukewarm water

  4. A clean towel

  5. Brush drying rack (optional)

  6. Cleanse:

  7. Dampen the bristles with lukewarm water.

  8. Apply a small amount of gentle soap or brush cleaner.

  9. Gently massage the bristles in a circular motion on the palm of your hand or a brush cleaning mat.

  10. Rinse and Repeat:

  11. Rinse thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear.

  12. Avoid getting water on the brush handle to prevent damage.

  13. Dry:

  14. Gently squeeze out excess water with a clean towel.

  15. Reshape the bristles and lay the brush flat to dry.

  16. If using a drying rack, position the brush with the bristles facing downward to maintain shape and prevent moisture from seeping into the handle.


Extra Tips for Summer Care

  1. Frequent Cleaning:

  2. In the summer, your skin produces more oil and sweat, which can transfer to your brushes.

  3. Increase the frequency of deep cleaning to twice a week during the hot months.

  4. Portable Cleaning Solutions:

  5. Carry a small bottle of brush cleaner or sanitizing wipes in your bag for on-the-go maintenance.

  6. This is especially useful for reapplying SPF at the beach or during outdoor activities.

  7. Storage:

  8. Avoid leaving your brushes in direct sunlight or hot, humid environments.

  9. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent bacterial growth and maintain the integrity of the product.


Keeping your Jane Iredale and ZO Skin Health SPF brushes clean is essential for effective sun protection and skin health, especially during the summer. By incorporating regular cleaning routines and being mindful of storage and maintenance, you can enjoy the benefits of these convenient SPF solutions all year long. Take the time to care for your brushes, and they will take care of your skin.


By following these tips, you can ensure that your SPF brushes remain in top condition, providing you with reliable sun protection whenever you need it. Enjoy the summer sun safely and keep your skin looking its best!

What Our Patients Say

I’m new here but have had an outstanding service and even better results!! I am very pleased and happy to have found this unassuming magic salon with exceptional technicians and technology as well as very reasonable prices. I was a little timid to start as skin is of course very important and fragile to entrust to someone new… but now all I can say is I can’t recommend this place enough to all my friends and family. If you love your skin leave it to Prestige Laser Studio and Tanja and her tech ladies! and you’ll be very satisfied! Thank you and can’t wait to see you again next week and again and then again! -AO
