Same-day makeup sponge clean

A soap, rinse, press, and air-dry routine for a makeup sponge after use.

The problem

Your makeup sponge can hold visible foundation and damp residue when it goes straight back into a closed pouch.

The public answer

Wash the sponge with mild soap, rinse until clear, press out water, and let it dry fully in open air.

Duration: 5–8 minutes plus full air-drying timeFrequency: Wash on the same day after each use and replace the sponge when it is damaged or cannot be cleaned.evidence informed
