FAQs
How often should I use the Dry Facial Brush?
The 103 Dry Facial Brush is recommended for use 1-3 times per week, depending on your skin's sensitivity and needs, to avoid over-exfoliation.
Can I use the Prep Brush with any type of foundation?
The 101 Prep Brush is primarily designed for applying skincare products like primers and moisturizers. While it can be used for light foundation application, specialized foundation brushes may offer better results for liquid or cream foundations.
Is this set suitable for sensitive skin?
The Prep Brush and Under Eye Reviver are generally suitable for most skin types. The Dry Facial Brush and Lip Exfoliating Brush should be used gently, and sensitive skin types may wish to use them less frequently or with less pressure.
What is the best way to store this brush set?
Store the set in a clean, dry place. A makeup bag or brush holder is ideal to protect the bristles and prevent dust accumulation.
Are the bristles on these brushes vegan?
Yes, Real Techniques brushes, including those in this set, feature UltraPlush synthetic bristles, which are vegan and cruelty-free.
How do I know when it's time to replace the brushes?
If the bristles become permanently misshapen, shed excessively, or the handles become damaged, it is time to consider replacing the tool.
Troubleshooting
Brush bristles feel rough or scratchy.
Ensure brushes are thoroughly cleaned and conditioned. Product buildup can make bristles stiff. If roughness persists after deep cleaning, consider replacing the brush.
Under-eye roller does not feel cool.
The roller is made of aluminum and is designed to retain a natural coolness. For an enhanced cooling sensation, store the tool in the refrigerator for a few minutes before use (do not freeze).
Exfoliating brush is not effective.
Ensure you are using the brush with an appropriate lip scrub or balm. Gentle circular motions are key. For stubborn dryness, try using it after a warm compress on the lips.
Product is difficult to clean from brushes.
Use a dedicated brush cleanser for stubborn residue. For masks or heavy creams, pre-rinse with warm water before applying cleanser.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
To maintain hygiene and performance, it is crucial to clean the brushes regularly.
- Daily Rinse: After each use, rinse the bristles or roller with warm water to remove surface product.
- Weekly Cleaning: Once a week, use a gentle brush cleanser or mild soap and warm water. Gently lather the bristles or brush head, rinse thoroughly, and gently squeeze out excess water.
- Drying: Reshape the bristles and lay the brushes flat or hang them upside down to dry completely. Avoid standing brushes upright, as this can damage the handles or bristles.
