How often should I wash my powder puff

Everyone knows the importance of makeup. An exquisite makeup will not only greatly enhance women's self-confidence, but also give others a pleasing feeling. Many women often put on powder, especially those with acne on their faces or those with dark skin. They put some powder on their faces almost every day before going out. When applying powder, the commonly used tool, powder puff, is inevitably involved. The powder puff needs to be cleaned every once in a while, otherwise it will breed bacteria. So how often do you need to wash your powder puff?

1. The harm of not cleaning the powder puff for a long time

Just like brushes and makeup sponges, the cleaning of powder puffs also depends on personal usage habits, but it should not exceed one month at most. Otherwise, a large number of bacteria will accumulate in the powder puff and will be brought into your air cushion powder core as you put on makeup. Therefore, the powder puff needs to be cleaned more frequently, about once a week is appropriate (the powder puff used for pressed powder can be cleaned once every 2 weeks).

2. Sponge Puff Cleaning Steps

1. Use makeup remover, neutral soap or facial cleanser, pour an appropriate amount directly onto the sponge that has been soaked in water to create foam.

2. Use your palms to repeatedly pinch and release the sponge to thoroughly clean out the dirt and foundation inside the sponge.

3. Rinse off the detergent with plenty of water, being careful not to leave any residue.

4. Use several paper towels or clean, absorbent towels to press the sponge to absorb the moisture. Place in a cool and ventilated place.

3. Precautions for cleaning sponge puff

1. It is best to check the sponge before cleaning. The texture must be dense before cleaning, otherwise it will easily break after washing. Also, the sponge should not be cleaned too often. A dirty and old sponge will not be able to completely clean out the dirt inside, and its elasticity will have lost its ability to be used anymore. It is better to replace the old with a new one. For the base makeup to be even and clean, it can be maintained.

2. Never rub the sponge. Not only will the sponge be easily pulled, making its elasticity worse, but it is also more likely to cause flaking.

3. In addition to using detergent to clean, you can also use soap to clean. Soap contains saponin, which is very effective for cleaning powders. After washing, it should be dried in the shade to avoid more pollution due to residual moisture.

4. How to clean the air cushion puff

1. Place the air cushion powder puff in a paper towel, cover it with paper towels on the top and bottom, then roll and press it with a bottle (stick) to absorb excess water and dirt on the puff.

2. Put the powder puff into a plastic bag, pour in shampoo, facial cleanser and other cleaning products, then pour in an appropriate amount of water, and rub it thoroughly together with the bag. Another more labor-saving method is to use makeup remover oil for cleaning.

3. After each use, rinse the puff with cold water and rub it gently with your fingers. Then apply facial soap on both sides of the powder puff, rub gently with your fingers, and rinse with clean water. Generally, you need to wash it 2-3 times to clean the powder puff thoroughly. Rub for 30-50 seconds each time.
