To clean a beauty blender, follow these effective steps:
- Wet the beauty blender thoroughly with lukewarm water. The sponge expands when wet, making cleaning easier.
- Apply a generous amount of a specialized beauty blender cleanser or a gentle soap designed for makeup sponges onto the wet blender.
- Gently massage and squeeze the sponge to work the cleanser into the material and break up makeup, oil, and residue. For stubborn stains, let the cleanser sit for a few minutes.
- Rinse the sponge under running lukewarm water, squeezing it repeatedly until the water runs clear and no cleanser remains.
- After rinsing, squeeze out excess water gently without twisting or pulling. Place the beauty blender in a well-ventilated area to air dry completely before storing.
Additional tips:
- Clean the beauty blender after every use or at least once a week to prevent bacteria buildup and skin irritation.
- Avoid using harsh soaps or dish soaps repeatedly as they may deteriorate the sponge; opt for beauty blender-specific cleansers for best results.
- Do not store a damp beauty blender in enclosed spaces to avoid mold growth.
- For a quick clean between deep washes, use a cleaning spray made for makeup sponges.
This method ensures a clean, bacteria-free beauty blender, prolongs its lifespan, and helps maintain healthy skin with flawless makeup application.
