I purposely took a shot of an old foundation sponge which I wanted to throw away but left at the bathroom sink just for this post. Now tell me, do you change your foundation sponge often? I like to wet the sponge before putting on the foundation, so I would normally place the sponge in the bathroom.
But the sponge will collect lots of dead skin cell every time we use it, and bacteria grow easily especially when it’s wet. So, if you have some issues with breakout or acne, you better change your makeup sponge as often as you can. I prefer to change them at least once a month, but some experts suggested once a week. So, if you can afford to buy more sponge, follow the advise from the experts! I hardly put on foundation, so I drag it longer.
The promoter told me to wash those sponges with mild soap water, but I hardly do it. Makeup sponge is not that expensive though, but if they are makeup brushes, then I will wash them diligently. Don’t tell me you don’t know how much those brushes cost, ok?
