Beauty Blender Cleaning

Hi Friends! Please tell me honestly....how often do you thoroughly clean your Beauty Blender? I use the round solid soap specially for cleaning them and my pretty pink blender lost sooo much color. I've been averaging a good cleaning every two weeks but don't use it every day. Ideas? Thank you!!!💋

Re: Beauty Blender Cleaning

I travel quite a bit so don't carry a separate soap for this. Just wash it with whatever face bar is available after the use (I don't use the blender everyday). Maybe I am not handling it gently and this does lose ton of color every time I wash it but I can live with that as I have skincare stuff to carry with and can't add a separate soap for this.

 

Though I am thinking of buying a solid cleanser (so TSA limit is not an issue) for this during the sale and appreciate any recommendations.

@BobbinElaine I recommend cleaning your bb every single time you use it and then leave it out in a well ventilated area to dry.  I use the round bb cleanser solid and it works great! ❤️

I clean mine every day that I use it. If I don't use a long wear foundation, I just use Dawn dish soap to clean mine. If I do use a long wear foundation, I'll use baby oil to break down the foundation and then clean with Dawn dish soap. My pink BB's always fade, they never stay neon pink.

I use Dawn dish soap too but never thought to try baby oil! Thank you for the tip!

Re: Beauty Blender Cleaning

I'm a daily user, so I clean mine each morning before using it since I need to dampen it anyway! I use Dr. Bronner's Bar Soap. It's inexpensive and keeps it stain-free. It will fade the sponge color, though. I prefer to use the beautyblender pro (the black one) because there's no color bleeding! 

Re: Beauty Blender Cleaning

That's a great tip! I didn't know if the black one would make it difficult to see how much foundation is left in the  sponge because it would be too dark to notice the color left behind. Maybe I should try that the next time I buy a new sponge instead of my neon pink 🙂

Same here! I clean mine every day before I use it. Never used to do it that often but I find it makes such a difference in application

RE: Beauty Blender Cleaning

I clean my BB every night so it's clean and ready for next morning

RE: Beauty Blender Cleaning

I have the beauty blender brand cleanser but recently I've been using Johnsons Johnson baby shampoo! I use it for all my brushes honestly

Re: Beauty Blender Cleaning

I wash mine everyday with Dove soap...usually at night when I wash my face. 

Re: Beauty Blender Cleaning

I wash mine after every use, usually when i am washing my face at night i will wash my BB so its fresh for the next day. I honestly don't like having liquid sit so i never understood using it 2-3xs and then washing, plus the longer you wait the harder it is to get fully cleaned. I don't use foundation brushes anymore but when i did i only used them once and had a few i rotated between until i washed them all.

Idc about the pink color, i am thinking about trying the nude one though/ has anyone tried? I've only tried the black one and i feel like the material is a little different so it probably works better with full cvg/ thicker foundations

Re: Beauty Blender Cleaning

Do the black color fade as you wash? I wash my pink one daily and noticed the color goes away so quickly and the longer I have it the tougher it is to wash all the foundation out. Is it easy to clean the black sponge?

I spritz it with 99% alcohol after every use, and give it a thorough cleanse every few uses.

Thank you 💋

Re: Beauty Blender Cleaning

I don't use my Beauty Blender every day because I prefer brushes, but I clean mine after every use by spraying it with brush cleaner and rinsing with water.
