Often Have Acne? It Could Be a Dirty Beauty Blender

Dream - You have been routinely cleaning your face, then using skincare, but your skin still often has acne? This could be due to many factors, one of which is your makeup tools that are not regularly cleaned.

For example, the beauty blender that is used daily to even out foundation or cushion. 

It is important to know that this makeup tool needs to be washed at least once a week. This is to avoid the accumulation of bacteria and dirt that cause acne. 

To clean the beauty blender, it is actually quite simple. There are several important steps you need to take to ensure optimal cleaning.

5 Steps to Clean the Beauty Blender Optimally

1. Use Warm Water

Moisten the beauty blender with warm water until it expands. A damp sponge is easier to clean than a dry one.

2. Use Cleansing Soap

Use a little liquid soap or gentle cleansing soap to clean the beauty blender. Drop the soap onto the sponge and gently rub it until it foams. Repeat this process until the sponge looks clean.

3. Make Sure Stains Disappear

Make sure the beauty blender is clean until stubborn makeup stains disappear. Especially if there are quite a lot of stains.

4. Rinse and Squeeze the Beauty Blender

Rinse the beauty blender directly under running water until the water is completely clean. Squeeze the beauty blender with a clean towel to remove any remaining water.

5. Dry

Place the beauty blender in an open area to dry naturally. Do not place it in a closed container or damp place as it can trigger bacterial growth.

Dream - The natural face look is increasingly favored by women. Especially when the weather gets colder and the face needs extra moisture to prevent makeup from smudging easily.

Unfortunately, makeup that is too moist and dewy can also easily be ruined. Especially on oily skin. So, the level of moisture must be adjusted to your skin condition.

Using concealer, cream contour, and blush will make your makeup last longer. Especially if all three are added with highlight, contour, and blush powders that have similar colors.

Then, spray setting spray all over the face to prevent the applied products from drying quickly and to make them easier to blend with fingers, brushes, or sponges. This method also makes the makeup last longer.

After that, blend all the applied products with a brush, sponge, or fingers. Start with lighter shades and gradually move to darker ones. So, you should blend concealer and foundation first, then continue with blush and contour for a more polished look.

Then, spray setting spray all over the face to lock in the base makeup. Continue your makeup by using a thin layer of powder for a longer-lasting and natural look.
