How to Make a Makeup Sponge Last Longer?

The most important factor in extending the life of your makeup sponges is cleanliness.

• Store sponges in their own small plastic container in your makeup bag.

• Wash makeup sponges gently with antibacterial hand soap and water after each use or after several uses.

• Allow sponges to air dry.

• Replace sponges when the corners begin looking tattered.

Tips:

• Some cosmetics companies sell small plastic containers specifically to carry sponges.

• Sponges sold at cosmetics counters in department stores are typically overpriced. Your local drug store will sell replacement sponges in larger quantities for less money.
