How to clean make up sponge ✨
You need to clean your Beautyblender and makeup sponges way, way more frequently than you currently do. Seriously take it from me, someone who genuinely hates cleaning my makeup brushes, when I say that actually taking five minutes to just do the damn thing is significantly better than letting your Beautyblender or makeup sponge continue to sit and fester with built-up skin gunk and grime, makeup, skin oils, and bacteria.
This isn’t to gross you out or scare you, it’s just facts. Even if your Beautyblender or sponge is “antimicrobial,” that doesn’t mean it magically stays clean antimicrobial properties just make the sponge a less hospitable environment for bacteria to grow. But that doesn’t do anything to help the build-up that can lead to breakouts, irritation, and inflammation
* Step 1: Wet your sponge. Gently squeeze your sponge under running water until it’s totally wet.
* Step 2: Add some soap. Squeeze a cleansing liquid or rub a bar of soap along the mitt so it’s fully saturated
* Step 3: Scrub and rinse. Run your sponge along the silicone nibs until your makeup stains are gone no wringing or pulling and then rinse until the water runs clear.
* Step 4: Dry. Set your sponge aside and let it air-dry with plenty of circulation
Just be careful: Soap can be harsh and drying, so doing this cleanse too frequently can start to break down your Beautyblender over time.
