How do you clean a face sponge?

Published in Makeup Tools Cleaning 1 min read

Cleaning your face sponge is essential for hygiene and maintaining effective makeup application. Here's how to do it properly, incorporating information from Boots UK's cleaning advice:

  1. Rinse Under Running Water:

    • Hold your sponge under running water.
    • This initial rinse helps to dislodge loose makeup and debris.
  2. Massage and Squeeze:

    • Massage the sponge forcibly to dislodge any remaining residue.
    • Squeeze the sponge repeatedly.
    • Continue this process until the water runs clear. This indicates that most of the makeup and dirt have been removed.
  3. Drying:

    • Leave the sponge to dry in a well-aired spot. This prevents the growth of mold and bacteria.

By following these steps, you can ensure your face sponge is clean and ready for its next use!
