How To Keep Makeup Cushions Clean

How to clean BB cushion puff

June i, 2015

This might exist 1 of those "psh" i don't demand to read this, its and so simple I would know how without you telling me. Only I practise like to share everything with you lot guys and so hence this post. When I commencement started using BB absorber (which wasn't that long ago…6 months ago I believe?), my first concern was how to clean the sponge. I didn't think it would be that hard, so I just took some of my beauty blender liquid soap just that didn't work for some reason. All the foundation was still stuck in the puff. I tried my regular dish soap method but that didn't piece of work either! The simply affair that worked for me was actually my beauty blender "blender cleanser solid" was the best method! I don't know why, information technology just worked nicely and it left my sponges squeaky clean. Again, I'thou not saying this is the just product that can clean it well, I accept seen others utilise generic bar soaps from the drugstore and it worked fine, but I personally don't utilise bar soaps on a daily and didn't have one laying around then I don't know how it works, information technology was just what I used myself.
BB cushion puff

Let's become started~~

1) Wet your sponge + soap
Selfexpiatory… no need to aggrandize on this topic correct?

2) Take your bar of soap and start rubbing it into the sponge

3) Rub the soap into the sponge with your fingers
When doing this, endeavour your best not to dig your finger nails into the sponge. This will cause small tears which overtime will make your sponge break and we don't want that at present do we?

Brand sure to get the dorsum of the sponge and the edges.

4) Rinse sponge nether water.

v) Ring the sponge while squeezing out the lather.

Using your fingers, massage the soap out of the sponge.

vi) Ring out all the water.

7) Tadaaaa~ all the make upwardly is all gone! Accept a towel or newspaper towel and pat the puff to get excess h2o.
I dry out my sponge just leaving it on the counter for a 24-hour interval and boom. Ready to use once more!
*Bonus point if you tin can run across the hulk of make up however on the bottom of the sponge. Don't worry, I cleaned it after I took the motion-picture show HAHA. It's all good in the hood…*

E'er since I used my first BB cushion, which was the IOPE 1, I fell in beloved. I never had any luck with the drugstore foundations nosotros accept here, it always was either not the right undertone or the cease was too matte for my dry skin. BB cushions merely worked for my preferences, weightless on my pare, colour matches my skin and information technology is hydrating enough so that my dry out skin doesn't look dry. Happy! I've actually started to use the absorber puffs as a tool simply on it'south own since it makes the base of operations make up application super fast, 5 mins fast! iIt kind of replaced my Beauty blender for the uncomplicated fact that it is cheaper and I don't accept to walk all the way to my bathroom and run the sponge under water to get the sponge to aggrandize. I now just spray a bit of water on my puff and it is skilful to get. I'd say give these puffs a endeavor since they are only $1 each, so even if one does go too dirty or just breaks, it wouldn't fifty-fifty matter since it is so cheap compared to $26 for a beauty blender.

How do yous guys clean your BB puffs, dazzler blender, or make up brushes? Let me know in a comments down below!

I always struggle to clean my BB cushion, I tin can go most of the makeup off but in that location's always a little shadow that remains. I've never tried the beauty blender cleanser! I will have to await into it 🙂 I was wondering where you lot buy your cushion sponges from?

1. The sponges i take are all from Bb cushion compacts and so i never bought whatsoever. But i was shopping around and saw that testerkorea has some from different brands like etude house (1,000 won), innisfree (2 for 1,000 won i believe). They are supee inexpensive to buy, i'm sure you tin even observe information technology on ebay!
  
  Thanks for reading. Delight share this post if yous enjoyed it and think your friends demand to clean their sponges too haha. cheers
2. I accept i as well. Yes. It did said the cushion is anti bacterial etc.. And it's true if y'all compare it to regular sponge. But I take grew pimples when I utilise it everyday for about 10days to 2weeks. And so its the limit for me. I launder it with my face wash soap and water. Put the cushion in a small bowl. Fill up a picayune soap and water so the mixture pretty bubbling or pretty slippery and soak the absorber in it. For how long? Depends on how long y'all wait to wash the absorber. When I wash the cushion for just third used I waited for 5minutes. And wash with tap water and finished speedily. When i take no time to wash and its 2weeks. I soak the cushion with cleansing oil for about 15-30minutes. And and so soak and wash a couple times with soap and water mixture. It'south harder to clean when you look too long. Simply it's (the absorber) too getting drier than original quickly and ripped if too often (like everyday wash) and when y'all aren't patient enough with washing(too harsh when pressing or have a long nail). But this is works for me and I never buy a new absorber sponge. I result save my old clean cushion because the BB is empty. So that I can accept a replacement when I dont hv fourth dimension to launder and I just put the dirty absorber in my desk and catch a make clean one. How long (days) u wait for washing doesn't matter. What matters is how much time u used. Is it the 3rd fourth dimension or 10th time(10days or 20days or fifty-fifty after my 30days doesn't matter). Hope it heLps:) pitiful 4 bad english

    With any make up tool, you shouldn't be using it for more then two to 3 days straight without washing information technology. If you don't wash it, it volition cause break outs since y'all are simply reapplying bacteria onto the pare.
I wonder how do you use the cushion and a spritz of water every bit a beauty blender. Can you tell me how? How much water I hateful? And shouLd I Leave the cushion clammy just like beauty blender? Doesn't the water in cushion get mix with the BB cream within the compact if you dab it in compact and then your confront and dab it in once again in compact? Thank you for answering

  I sprintz only little bit of h2o onto my air cushion. It shouldn't be dripping wet, simply ever so slightly clammy. And no the water doesn't get into the cushion since there isn't an backlog amount of h2o dripping off of the air puff. And yes I practise dab the the air puff into the cushion repeatedly until I get the desired coverage.

  Do y'all mean the air puff? Similar the ones you lot get within the cushions? Hmm you lot can find information technology at places like Jolse, testerkorea, ebay, amazon. Just search upwards "air puff" on whatsoever of those sites.
Stumbled upon here and but wanna add on a comment – don't wring or crumple the bb cushion puff similar that to squeeze out the water. Information technology'southward actually not practiced for it. It's not a regular sponge, bb cushions are more delicate so this tin can cause information technology to "spoil" faster.

Instead place it in between both of your palms flat and so printing to squeeze out the water. Or place in on your left palm and utilize your right 3 fingers to press out the water. 🙂
