Ways to clean a makeup sponge

1. Different Ways To Clean A Makeup Sponge

2. The Viral Method: Using Dish Soap Soaking a makeup sponge in warm water with regular dish soap is one of the most popular ways to clean a makeup sponge, courtesy of TikTok. This method is pretty simple and easy. The first step is to fill a bowl or basin with warm water, add a few pumps of liquid dish soap, mix the soap and water, and then soak your makeup sponge. You can soak the sponge for 10-15 minutes or more, depending on the last time you cleaned it and how often you used it. Once you have soaked it for the set period, squeeze out the water, and if there are any leftover build-ups, you put in small pumps of soap, massage it, and then rinse thoroughly. Once you are sure that the sponge is clean, squeeze out the water as much as possible, wrap it in a towel, give it a good squeeze a few more times, and leave it out overnight to dry.

3. The Microwave Method Another famous way of cleaning a makeup sponge is the microwave method. This method may seem a little gross, especially if you have not seen the viral videos of influencers trying this method out on the internet, but trust the process. The first thing you have to do is grab a microwavable bowl, add an inch of water, place your sponge, and then set the heating timer for 30 or 60 seconds. Once the timer sets off, let it cool down, add a few soap pumps, and clean it under warm running water. Once you are done rinsing, please place it in your makeup sponge holder and let it air dry. This method will not only remove the product build-up from the sponge but will also sanitize it.

4. Try The Oil Cleansing Method If you are big into skincare, you will be aware of the oil cleansing method, which is popular among skincare enthusiasts. This process works around the principle that oil breaks down oil, so just like it works effectively on your face, this method could do the same for your makeup sponge. The first step is to ensure that your sponge is dry; add a few drops of oil and then massage it thoroughly until you see the products rubbing off your palm. Once you have given it a thorough massage, add a few pumps of any soap, give your makeup sponge another massage, and then rinse it thoroughly under running water. And then, leave the sponge out to dry completely.

5. Use A Makeup Brush Cleaner Another method we have seen people try on the internet to clean their makeup sponges is using their makeup brush cleaner. Like a brush, dampen your makeup sponge with water and then massage the brush cleaner into the sponge. When you are sure that all the product build-up is removed, give it a thorough rinse. This method is best followed if you have started washing it regularly, at least once a week.

6. The Surface Cleaning Method The surface cleaning method requires you to rub your makeup sponge against a textured surface, such as a brush-cleaning mat. If you have purchased a cleaning mat for your makeup brushes, this is another way to use the product. It is a simple method, dampen your sponge, use soap of your preference, rub your makeup sponge against the textured surface for a few minutes, and then rinse it out thoroughly. Once your sponge is clean, you can leave it out to dry in your clean sponge holder.
