A beauty blender is a staple for many when applying makeup. This sponge effortlessly blends foundation, but if not cleaned properly, it can harbour bacteria and dirt, leading to breakouts, infections, and other skin issues. Maintaining a clean beauty blender is crucial for both its longevity and your skin’s health. While some clean it with just water or hand soap, here is a quick guide to properly clean it for optimal results.
Microwave Cleaning Trick
The easiest way to clean your beauty blender is with lukewarm water and mild shampoo or brush cleaner. In a bowl of lukewarm water, add a few drops of mild shampoo or liquid soap. Submerge the beauty blender, gently pressing it to remove any trapped makeup. Rinse it thoroughly with clean water.
If your beauty blender needs a deeper clean, the microwave cleaning trick works wonders. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix water with a few drops of dish soap or mild shampoo. Add your beauty blender and microwave for 30-40 seconds. This effectively kills bacteria and thoroughly cleanses the sponge. Once done, rinse it under cold water and squeeze out any excess.
Deep Clean With Oil And Soap
For waterproof makeup or heavy product build-up, a deep clean using coconut oil or baby oil is recommended. Start by soaking the beauty blender in lukewarm water. Then, apply a small amount of coconut oil and gently rub, dissolving stubborn makeup. Wash it with a mild shampoo and rinse thoroughly.
The Right Way To Dry The Beauty Blender
After washing, always air-dry your beauty blender. Place it on a tissue or clean towel, gently pressing to absorb excess water. Let it air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Storing it damp in an airtight container can lead to mould growth.
By cleaning your beauty blender thoroughly every week, you’ll extend its lifespan and ensure your skin stays healthy and radiant.
