Before cleaning the puff, you must first understand the texture of the puff. The puff must be dense before it can be cleaned, otherwise it will easily break after washing.

After cleaning, use a paper towel, cotton pad or a towel that easily absorbs water, and gently press on the powder puff to absorb the moisture in the puff.

Since base makeup products contain a high amount of oil (especially liquid foundation and cream foundation), too much foundation residue on the powder puff will affect the uniformity and fit of the makeup, and it is easy to breed bacteria, affecting skin health. Therefore, the sponge needs to be cleaned more frequently, about once a week (the powder puff used for powder can be cleaned once every two weeks). The powder puff is a kind of makeup tool. Generally, loose powder and powder boxes will contain a powder puff, which is mostly made of cotton and velvet materials and is used to pick up foundation and modify makeup. The wet and dry powder puff is generally round or rectangular. Whether it is wet or not, the wet and dry powder can be applied to the face. Whether you choose a sponge powder puff or a wet and dry powder puff, it is better to use a moderately soft one.

The powder puff needs to be replaced about once every half a month or a month to prevent the growth of bacteria and reduce damage to the skin. When choosing, be sure to choose one with better materials. Because the manufacturers or prices are different, the materials are also different. So in terms of material, the better the powder puff, the longer it may last. If you use an ordinary powder puff, the time may be relatively shortened.
