Do makeup sponges need to be wet? How to clean makeup sponges?

Makeup sponge is a makeup tool that many people like to use. Makeup sponge needs to be wetted when used, but it depends on the purpose. If you use the makeup sponge to apply dry powder, you can use the makeup sponge dry without wetting it.

Wet the sponge for liquid foundation.

The sponge is soft and skin-friendly, and is very suitable for applying liquid foundation. When using a sponge to apply liquid foundation and other base makeup, including BB cream, CC cream, DD cream, etc., it is necessary to wet it in advance. The sponge itself is absorbent, and after being wetted, the water can be stored in the sponge. In this way, applying liquid foundation is not only easy to apply, but the skin will not feel dry. In addition, the sponge will be softer after being wetted. Using a sponge to help apply blush and lipstick can make the color soft and not easy to fall off. Put the slightly damp makeup sponge in the refrigerator first. After a few minutes, pat the cold sponge on the skin with foundation. You will feel that your skin is particularly refreshing and the makeup looks particularly fresh. Use the clean side of the sponge every time you put on makeup. A sponge can be divided into four parts: the left side of the surface, the right side of the surface, the left side of the inside, and the right side of the inside. Use one part each time. After using it four times, it should be thoroughly cleaned with soap to reduce the loss of the sponge.

1. After using the makeup sponge for a period of time, scrub it with a neutral detergent or soap.

2. After washing, do not wring it with your hands. Use a towel to roll it up and wring out excess water, then place it in a ventilated place to dry. Because powder puffs and sponges get dirty very quickly, it is best to prepare two or more for alternating use. Try to pack the powder puffs in a box separately to keep them clean and prevent them from mixing with other cosmetics. For foundation products with different shades, different powder puffs or sponges should be used to avoid mixing colors and affecting the makeup effect. In addition to cosmetic residues, makeup brushes and sponges also hide bacteria such as streptococci, staphylococci, and mold. These bacteria can cause infectious diseases or allergic diseases such as impetigo and folliculitis when they come into contact with the skin. Clean your makeup tools at least twice a week to prevent these diseases.

Makeup sponges are usually disposable tools that can be thrown away after one use. The ingredients in them are not suitable for repeated use. If the amount of foundation liquid used at one time is relatively small, the makeup sponge can actually be used two or three times, but long-term use is not recommended, as it will cause more bacteria to grow in it, leading to more severe inflammation and acne on the face. The makeup effect of the makeup sponge is more delicate, because the makeup sponge can take care of every detail.

When applying makeup, the cotton pad can be applied evenly, and can achieve a very good fit effect. You can squeeze the sunscreen or foundation cream directly onto the sponge. You can also squeeze some sunscreen on the back of your hand, use the sponge to apply the sunscreen, and then use the sponge to apply it on the skin. This can be very even, and the sponge absorbs the excess oil of the sunscreen very well. If you have oily skin and are removing makeup, you must be careful not to absorb the oil first. Take out a very clean sponge directly and dilute it gently. Basically, the original sebum of the skin can be pushed clean directly from the inside to the outside of the makeup removal area. In fact, the sponge can not only be used when applying foundation, but also when using blush to achieve a very good effect, and the breathability is also very good. However, you must pay attention to timely cleaning after use, because if it is not cleaned in time, it is easy to cause bacteria to grow on the sponge, which is also very harmful to the skin. When using a sponge, you must pay attention to taking an appropriate amount of liquid foundation, pat it gently on your face, and then use the sponge to take the remaining liquid foundation and pat it on the more obvious flaws. This can achieve a very good, even effect, and can also save a certain amount of money, and will not cause the face to be full of oily phenomenon, because the sponge has a very good effect in diluting excess oil, and will not cause the problem of powder sticking.
