The hygiene of the beauty tools we use is also part of your facial care routine. Just as you often renew your body sponge and toothbrush, it is important that you respect the expiration date of your cosmetics and makeup, as well as regularly clean your brushes. And, of course, it is also essential to clean makeup sponges.
If you can’t remember the last time you cleaned your makeup sponges, or worse, you never have, you know you’re making a mistake. A very common mistake, but a mistake nonetheless. Taking care of this tool is essential both for the health and appearance of your skin and to obtain a good result when you apply makeup.
Makeup sponges come into direct contact with our skin every time we use them. In them, not only remains of the product that you have applied accumulate, but also bacteria proliferate.
Therefore, if you don’t wash them often, each time they will absorb, spread and blend the products worse on your face. And even worse, you can get a skin infection, dirty and clog your pores, develop an allergic reaction, pink eye, rash or acne breakout from seemingly harmless but dirty sponges.
It is best to always wash makeup sponges after each use. But it is true that this usually makes us quite lazy. At most, you should deep clean them once a week.
In addition, it is important that you store them in a clean and dry place. Keep them from constantly rubbing against other cosmetics in your vanity bag, as they get dirtier that way.
