It could be because you are giving them to much water , that can make your leaves go brown.
If they are "African Violets" you can give them "African Violet Food "
Typically when the tips of the leaves go brown on an indoor plant it is because the pot is too small. The small roots around the edge of the pot get water when they are first watered, but dry up as time goes by, therefore the leaf tips dry up and turn brown.

Try repotting them. If the leaf portion of the plant covers more area then the volume of the pot doubled then you probably need a bigger pot.
the main reason plant leaves go brown indoors is the lack of humidity. with modern houses being warm and dry the air usualy lacks moisture. one of the best ways to solve this problem is to get a shallow plant saucer and add small stones /or gravel place the plant on the saucer and keep the gravel moist at all times. this will give some humidity arround the plant, to water the plant just water in the usual way.
This is because there getting a draft.
