BACKGROUND

Under the trend of upgrading consumption, the makeup market size gradually expands, so that the use of the cosmetic brush is gradually popularized; in European and American countries, a cosmetic brush is even a necessary tool for making up. Since the cosmetic brush is in frequent contact with the skin and cosmetics, bacteria may grow on the bristles, and cosmetics, grease, and dead skin may remain on the bristles, the regular cleaning of the cosmetic brush is a necessary step for maintaining the hygiene of the bristles and the health of the skin, and ensuring the effect of the cosmetic brush. However, the regular way to clean cosmetic brushes is still quite manual, unlike that clothes are cleaned by a fully automatic washing machine, which achieves and popularizes the mechanization of clothes cleaning.

The manual cleaning method of the cosmetic brush mainly includes dipping a small amount of cleaner in the bristles, scrubbing the bristles back and forth on a silicone mat with raised dots or textures to remove the stains, and rinsing the bristles under clean water. This cleaning process is not only time-consuming, but also laborious, which makes many women lazy to clean the cosmetic brush regularly and further leads to skin problems and also reduces the normal service life of cosmetic brushes, resulting in premature replacement of the cosmetic brush, causing unnecessary waste and extra expenses, and not in line with the concept of environmental protection. Although there are some electrical appliances for mechanically cleaning cosmetic brushes in the market, the development is still not mature, and those electrical appliances still have a plurality of defects: low cleaning efficiency, poor cleaning effect, excessive volume, poor sealing, cumbersome operation, high cost, and the like. Therefore, the present disclosure proposes a cosmetic brush cleaning device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
