If you wear makeup less often- say twice a week, you should at least clean your blender weekly to get rid of build ups and prevent bacterial growth.

When you store it moist, you are giving Mould an avenue to grow within the spongy foam and you don't want that coming in contact with your face darling.

3-Stop using one beauty blender for a long time.

Every beauty product has an expiration period including your beauty blender. Yes you heard that right!

With a proper maintenance system of cleaning after every use, your beauty blender should last you anywhere between 3-6 months depending on how often you use it.

The soft, smooth, puffy texture of your foamy sponge is what makes it effective in blending in your foundations, concealers, and other make-up products.

Once a beauty blender feels rough, the larger surface starts to split, and it can no longer create that perfect blend of products, you should get a replacement .

Another sign you should change your beauty blender is when you notice it never gets clean no matter how thoroughly you wash it.

Beauty blenders were made to absorb moisture. After a long time of good use, they start to have makeup deep seated within their core, giving a permanent stain look.
