Makeup brushes and sponges: how to clean them and how often to replace them

Makeup brushes and sponges: how to clean them and how often to replace them

Makeup brushes and sponges are essential for achieving a flawless look, but they also require proper care to remain effective and hygienic. The buildup of dirt, bacteria, and product residue can cause irritation and, in some cases, even acne. That’s why it’s important to clean and replace them regularly to ensure longevity and maintain the health of your skin.

A gentle soap or specialized brush cleaning liquids

For proper brush cleaning, it is recommended to use a gentle soap or specialized brush cleaning liquids. Rinse the brush under warm running water and gently massage it to remove any product buildup. After rinsing, let the brush dry on a flat surface. Brush cleaning should be done regularly – at least once a week.

Sponges, used for applying foundation, concealer, or even for removing makeup, should be cleaned after every use. After rinsing the sponge with mild soap and water, press it to remove excess moisture and leave it to dry in a well-ventilated area. If you're using a makeup remover sponge like the Milky Splash sponge, it also needs to be cleaned regularly to maintain its effectiveness in removing makeup and ensuring hygiene.

Makeup brushes and sponges are not everlasting, so they need to be replaced from time to time as they come into contact with products that wear down faster and accumulate bacteria.

A makeup sponge should be replaced every 3 months due to its porous structure, which wears out quickly and retains moisture – potentially leading to bacterial growth. The same goes for the Milky Splash makeup remover sponge – replace it regularly to ensure its effectiveness and keep your skin clean and healthy.

Additionally, proper storage of your makeup tools is crucial for their longevity. Keep your brushes and sponges in a dry, clean place, away from moisture, which can encourage bacterial growth. If you notice skin irritation, check the condition of your tools, as dirty ones can cause inflammation and discomfort.

Cleaning your brushes and sponges ensures that makeup is applied evenly and without residue buildup, while your skin stays healthy and fresh.
