Well, I can't say that it is the sole reason that she has acne break outs, it may very well be a contributing factor. Brushes that don't get washed regularly have a build up of makeup, facial oil, and bacteria in and on them. This can definitely lead to acne breakouts as well as altering the color and effectiveness of the product and causing the brush to feel rough on your skin.
If you look on the internet there are TONS of blogs and websites with information on how to clean brushes, so here's another one.
There are two ways that I clean my brushes.
For my work brushes, I clean them immediately after each client with either, MAC's or Cinema Secret's brush cleanser and sanitizer and once or twice a week (depending on how busy I have been), I deep clean them with a shampoo.
For my personal brushes, I clean them about every other week.
To clean your brushes with MAC's/CS's cleanser:
- Get a towel you don't care for or paper towels & pour out some of the brush cleaner into a small cup
- Carefully dip the bristles of brush into the cleanser - making sure not to get the metal where the bristles meet the handle wet.
- Bring your brush along the towel in a sweeping motion, until it no longer leaves any product on the towel. Add more cleanser as you need

To clean your brushes with shampoo:
- Fill a cup with warm water
- Carefully dip the bristles of the brush into the cup, being sure not to get the metal where the bristles meet the handle wet.
- Keep holding it bristles down, take a small amount of shampoo (I use the shampoo I use on my hair - UNITE Eurotherapy) and gently massage it into the bristles.
- Rinse with water, careful to avoid the handle getting wet
- Lay flat and reshape the bristles to dry - drying time varies - some take a half hour, some take overnight.
