Makeup sponge care Makeup sponge cleaning steps

Makeup sponge is a good helper for makeup. Makeup sponge needs to be cleaned after use. If the makeup sponge is not cleaned in time, bacteria will easily remain, and various skin problems will occur if it is continued to be used.

In order to extend the life of the sponge, it is best to wash it thoroughly after each use. If you really don't have time, wash it at least once a week. Rub it gently in clean water, press it dry with both hands, and place it flat in a dry and ventilated place. Do not place it in a humid place, otherwise it will be invaded by mold; also pay attention to not being exposed to strong light. Generally speaking, the life of a makeup sponge is about one year. For people who wear makeup every day, it is best to replace it every three to six months to avoid damaging the delicate skin. No matter which sponge you choose, the sponge can only be used twice a week at most! Otherwise, no matter how good your skin is, it will become rough after being "rubbed" for many years.

Makeup tools need to be cleaned and replaced regularly, and sponges are no exception. Every time you use a sponge to apply foundation, it will be contaminated with bacteria, foundation, dust and other dirt. The more frequently you apply makeup, the more harmful ingredients will remain on the sponge, and the greater the irritation to the skin. Therefore, sponges need to be cleaned and replaced regularly.

1. Use neutral soap or buy special cleaning liquid, wet the makeup sponge and soap, rub and create foam.

2. Use your palm to squeeze and release the sponge continuously to thoroughly clean out the dirt and foundation inside the sponge. Do not rub the sponge, as this will cause the sponge to lose elasticity and more likely to cause it to fall off.

3. Put it under the faucet and rinse it with clean water continuously. Keep squeezing and releasing it during this process.

4. Use multiple paper towels or towels to press the sponge to absorb moisture, and then place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally.

How to apply makeup with a makeup sponge

After wetting the sponge, you can start applying liquid foundation. First, squeeze out an appropriate amount of liquid foundation on the back of your hand, dip your fingers in the liquid foundation and apply it to the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. Use a wet sponge to gently press and apply the liquid foundation so that it can be evenly spread. After all the liquid foundation on the face is spread, press the face with the sponge as a whole once, so that the liquid foundation can blend into the skin more naturally.

Selection criteria for sponges

When choosing a sponge, its touch and elasticity are the primary factors to consider. It should feel soft and stretchy. Since sponges are afraid of light, including the lights in stores, their quality may be damaged. Therefore, when buying sponges, if they are displayed in a row, do not take the first one, but the one behind it, because the sponges behind will not enjoy much "sunbathing". Another practical way to distinguish is to fold the sponge in half and rub it against each other. If the sponge crumbs fall off after a few rubs, it is time to discard it. In normal use, if the touch with the skin becomes bad after washing and the edges are broken, it is time to replace it with a new one.
