Sweep the brush around the container in a circular motion to pick up a little powder, tap it on the back of your hand to remove any excess, then apply to the face using downward strokes. Cleaning: wash brush hairs under warm water, creating a gentle lather with a little Dr.Hauschka Body Wash. Rinse well. Finally, gently squeeze out the brush, carefully stroking back into shape. Place on a hand towel and leave to dry at room temperature.
