However, the gourd powder puff needs to be cleaned regularly, otherwise it will not only affect the appearance, but also breed bacteria. Here I will introduce to you the cleaning method of the gourd powder puff.

1. How to clean the gourd powder puff

1. Use cleansing soap to clean the beauty sponge

Step 1: First, soak the beauty sponge completely with clean water. It is completely soaked when a large amount of water is squeezed out each time you press it. Squeeze the beauty sponge dry, leaving a little moisture, apply a proper amount of cleansing soap onto the beauty sponge. When the surface of the beauty sponge feels slippery, squeeze the beauty sponge between your fingers and palms, and rub it repeatedly with your hands, but control the strength of rubbing. At this time, the foam will bring out the makeup remaining on the beauty sponge. When the foam turns back to white, it proves that the makeup in the beauty sponge has been washed away.

Step 2: Rinse the beauty sponge with plenty of clean water, and squeeze it with your hands at the same time. Squeeze it repeatedly. If no white foam appears, it is fine. The cleaning process is relatively long, but the foam must be cleaned before subsequent use. Finally, clean it and place the beauty sponge in a cool and ventilated place to dry. The beauty sponge should not be exposed to the sun.

2. Use detergent to clean the beauty sponge

The difference between cleansers and cleansing soaps is that the textures of cleansing products are different, but the first step is to completely soak the beauty sponge, place the beauty sponge on the mouth of the cleanser bottle, and squeeze the cleanser out. In this way, the cleanser will directly rush into the inside and surface of the beauty sponge. The subsequent steps are the same as those for cleansing soap. Use your hands to repeatedly rub the beauty sponge with foam, then rinse it clean and dry it in a cool and ventilated place.

2. How often should the gourd powder puff be washed?

1. If you wear makeup every day, those props will be used regularly every day. Any sponge or sponge-like gourd puff should be cleaned once a week. Don't expose it to the sun, because most sponges are made of soft foamed polyurethane rubber, which will lose its elasticity if exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time.

2. If you use them less frequently, then you should give them a minor cleaning every 2 days, and give them a thorough cleaning at least once a month! As for myself, I don’t wear makeup every day, maybe 5 to 10 times a month. Therefore, I clean my powder puffs and facial brushes at least once a month, and I dispose of my eyeliner brushes and eyeshadow brushes immediately after each use.

3. How often should the gourd powder puff be changed?

Generally speaking, it is best to replace it with a new one every three months. If you use it every day, it is best to clean it once or twice a week, and replace it once a month or so. If you don’t replace it, you must clean it, after all, cosmetics are more likely to breed bacteria on it.
