Cleaning a beauty blender without any hassle? Yes, please.
Cleaning a beauty blender can be all shades of messy frustrations, but with this tip, we found, not anymore. The best part is it will leave it squeaky clean.
Cleaning a beauty blender is properly the worst chore ever! But to prevent breakouts, blackheads, eczema, and other irritations, it’s a must that it is thoroughly cleaned often.
With a beauty blender, keeping it clean is as important as the product it’s used to apply; leaving loads of products on it would make it the perfect breeding place for bacteria (think products + sebum + more products going on and on on the face ‘remixed’!).
Simply put, this cute beauty tool gets dirty, absorbing a lot of products during makeup application, and if left unclean could be the easiest way to infect the skin; cleaning it often and deeply is the only way to get the best out of using it.
If, like us, it’s a chore you hate, then you are in luck! Dishwashing liquid and olive oil work magic keeping it clean; it’s tried, tested, and it works!
Follow these steps.
- Set aside a small amount of dishwashing liquid using a clean bowl.
- Add olive oil (use less than half the amount of dishwashing liquid set aside) and mix.
- Scoop the mix with your dirty beauty blender, and make sure the beauty blender is soaked with the mix.
- Gradually work up a lather by gently rubbing the beauty blender (as you would when washing).
- Rinse the beauty blender under running water.
- Repeat until the lather and water come clean.
- Leave it to air dry.
