How Often Should You Get a New Beautyblender?

Replace your Beautyblender every three months or every season for easier remembering. 

It&#;s easy: New Season. New Sponge.

If you don't wear makeup often, you can wait three months before replacing it. If you wear makeup daily and do touch-ups, you may need to replace it sooner.

How Do You Know When to Throw Out Your Makeup Sponge?

You should throw out your makeup sponge if you notice visible damage, discoloration, or texture changes. Throw away your makeup sponge if it has mold, smells bad, or stops working well for applying makeup.

Why Should You Replace Your Beautyblender Every Three Months?

Replace your Beautyblender every three months to avoid collecting dirt, dead skin cells, and bacteria. These germs could potentially cause skin irritation if you transfer them to your face as you apply makeup. For easy recall, remember to replace your makeup sponge every new season.

How Do You Know When to Replace Your Cosmetic Sponge?

Replace your cosmetic sponge if it is damaged or over three months old. 

Remember: New Season. New Sponge.

Also, replace it if the texture changes or if you see spots that won't come off with deep cleaning. Additionally, consider replacing your makeup sponge if your makeup isn't looking as flawless as usual. Finally, if you are experiencing breakouts that are not caused by changing cosmetics, hormones, or medications, consider using a new sponge.

How Can I Make My Beautyblender Last Longer?

To make your Beautyblender last longer, ensure you clean it thoroughly after each use and allow it to air dry completely. Store your Beautyblender in a well-ventilated area to prevent mold and bacteria growth, which can help extend its longevity. For optimal use and durability, use a Blender Defender to store your Beautyblender and our Blendercleanser to clean after every use.

How Do I Know When My Makeup Sponge Is No Longer Good?

When you start recognizing wear and tear, fading, staining, rips, spots, or texture changes, you may want to consider replacing your makeup sponge.

How Can I Tell if My Makeup Blender Has Mold?

Dark spots on your makeup blender are obvious signs of mold growth. If your makeup blender also has a musky odor, it could indicate mold growth. If you suspect your makeup blender has mold but aren't certain, it's best to discard it. Using a makeup sponge with mold can harm your skin and cause issues like rashes, itching, or acne.

Should I Use My Makeup Sponge Wet or Dry?

You should always use a slightly wet makeup sponge for a more natural finish. Although Beautyblender is specifically designed to prevent soaking up excess product, using a wet makeup sponge can also help prevent streaks and lines. The damp sponge ensures that your makeup blends seamlessly into your skin, providing a dewy, airbrushed look. Additionally, using a wet Beautyblender can minimize product wastage, ensuring that more of your foundation or concealer ends up on your face rather than being absorbed by the sponge.

Refresh Or Replace: How to Know When to Replace Your ...

There&#;s no better feeling than opening a fresh Beautyblender canister and seeing your precious new sponge in its purest form, am I right? No stains, no spots&#;just pure pink goodness.

But unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and at some point, you&#;ll want to replace your Beautyblender for a new one.

Luckily, there are a few things you can do to increase the longevity of your sponge before you recycle it&#;which leads us to the ultimate question: Refresh or Replace? Here are the signs to look for so you know when to replace your Beautyblender or if you just need a deep clean.

 

Give Your Beautyblender a Health Check

If you&#;re thinking your BB is nearing the end of the road, it&#;s time to do a health check. Typically, Beautyblenders last anywhere from 3 to 6 months, depending on how well you take care of it. A good way to think of it is by season. Once the weather changes and a new season comes in, give your sponge a check-up. It may have more life left in it than you think!

Ask yourself, how dirty is it? Is it just stained, or are there nicks and tears too? Has it maintained its symmetrical egg figure, or is it slightly misshapen?

If you notice your sponge is misshapen, give it a good deep-clean before tossing it. Remember: clean tools, flawless application. You might notice your sponge bouncing even better after a good cleanse to get any leftover product out.

That&#;s why we always recommend using a damp Beautyblender for minimal absorption&#;the goal is to get all of your precious product on your skin, not in your sponge!

Pro Tip: When you use a dry Beautyblender without consistent cleaning, it&#;s more likely to absorb product and hold it within the sponge. Of course, you may not always be near a sink or have water on hand when you&#;re touching up your makeup with a BB (hello, traveling beauty lovers!). That&#;s why cleaning your sponge often to avoid grime and buildup is so important.

Once you wash out your old makeup sponge, you&#;ll likely find that your sponge has got a little more life in her. Plus, regular cleansing can extend the life of your Beautyblender. 

 

REFRESH 

Our all-natural, vegan, Blendercleanser formulas gently remove grime and buildup while conditioning the exclusive foam with coconut and sustainable palm oils. The key to keeping your sponge in pristine condition is to cleanse it every day. We know, we know&#;it seems like a daunting task. We hardly even have time to make our morning coffee (jk, we always have time for coffee).  Luckily, perfection is not the goal here. An everyday cleanse is ideal, but it&#;s okay if you miss a day or two. Just remember to do a deep clean whenever you get the chance for ultimate freshness.

If you want to multitask, throw a bunch of blenders in a bath with Liquid Blendercleanser.  You&#;ll come back to pristine blenders. If you&#;re a jet setter, try the travel-friendly solid Blendercleanser Solid, which allows you to scrub your sponge against a solid cleaning agent. If you&#;re into long-wear formulas and have stubborn stains, try Blendercleanser Charcoal- this formula uses charcoal to draw out stains like a magnet. 

Last but not least, our InstaClean spray is a fast-drying spot cleaner for those busy days when you don&#;t have time for a full cleanse. It&#;s like a dry shampoo for your hair&#;it dries fast and allows you to switch from one product to the next for a true-to-color application every time. All of our cleansers also work great for makeup brushes if you want to double down on cleaning your tools. 

Pro Tip: To increase the longevity of your sponge in addition to cleaning, try to keep it separate from other makeup products in your bag. Our Blender Defender is your blender&#;s new BFF. This portable, shatterproof vented travel case is perfect for keeping your sponge protected from other products in your bag while also letting it breathe. Your grime-free BB will thank you!

 

RECYCLE 

A sponge with nicks and tears can still be used, but know that it&#;s close to the end of its life. We know, RIP.

The goal is to keep the bouncy, cushy softness of your sponge for as long as possible for the ultimate bounce factor and an even application. It&#;s the bounce that gives that flawless, airbrushed finish we all know and love. If you&#;ve been using the same sponge for a while and notice that it&#;s not as squishy or pillowy as it once was after cleansing, it might be time to toss it.

Don&#;t forget&#;Beautyblenders are recyclable, as well as the canister it comes in! So when the time comes, make sure you recycle your sponge.
