Removing an old foundation from your beauty blender without destroying it or making a mess sounds impossible. Still, there are a few ways to clean your makeup sponge and to make it look brand new again. Below are three options for cleaning your makeup sponge.
Soak
The most basic way to clean a makeup sponge is to add a few drops of liquid cleanser in warm water and soak your sponge in it. After only a few minutes your sponge will be ready as new. Make sure you wash out the soap thoroughly from your sponge before you use it.
Soap
You can choose between a liquid cleanser or a bar of soap to clean your dirty makeup sponge. Once you apply the soap, gently squeeze the sponge to clean it and rinse with cold water once you’re done. Soap can dry your sponge and break it down so don’t do this too often.
Microwave
This technique must sound weird but it has the same effect as putting your makeup sponge in a washing machine. Add a few drops of soap in water, submerge the sponge in it and leave the cup in the microwave for a minute. Once it cools you can rinse the sponge and prepare to use it.
