Due to the high oil content of foundation products (especially liquid foundation and cream), too much foundation make-up left on the powder puff will affect the uniformity and fit of the makeup, and it is easy to breed bacteria and affect the skin health. Therefore, the sponge needs to be cleaned frequently, and it is advisable to clean it once a week (the powder puff used for powder can be cleaned once a week).
Due to the rapid dirtiness of the powder puff and sponge, it is best to prepare two or more for alternating use. For foundation make-up products with different colors, different puffs or sponges should be used to avoid color mixing and affecting the makeup effect. After using it for a period of time, rub it with neutral detergent or soap, and then place it in a ventilated place to dry.
How to clean the makeup sponge powder puff thoroughly
It is best to inspect and screen the sponge before cleaning. The texture must be dense before cleaning, otherwise it is easy to break after washing. And the frequency of sponge cleaning should not be too many. It is a dirty and old sponge, and the hidden dirt and grime inside cannot be completely cleaned. The elasticity is also exhausted and cannot be used anymore. It is better to replace the old with new. Only with a uniform and clean base makeup can it be maintained!
Step 1:
Use makeup remover or neutral soap or facial cleanser, pour an appropriate amount directly onto the sponge that has been soaked with water to make it produce foam.
Step 2:
Never clean the sponge by rubbing it, as it is prone to being pulled and its elasticity may decrease, and there is a higher possibility of peeling off when rubbed.
Step 3:
Rinse off the cleaning agent with plenty of water, being careful not to leave any residue.
Step 4:
Use multiple paper towels or clean, easily absorbent towels to press the sponge dry. Then place it in a cool and ventilated place to let it air dry naturally.
Suggestion:
Powder puffs, sponges, and eye shadow sticks commonly used in eye shadow painting, it is best to use disposable ones. These appliances have a strong adsorption on cosmetics, and are most likely to produce dirt. Many beauty shops sell disposable sponges and eye shadow sticks, which are cheap and safe to use, and there is no need to worry about breeding bacteria.
If your sponge and puff are of high value, in addition to using detergent from a washing device, you can also clean them with soap. Soap contains soap alkali, which has a good cleaning effect on powders. After washing, it should be dried in the shade and made sure it is completely dry before use to avoid further pollution caused by residual moisture.
