Let’s talk about makeup sponges. I regularly get asked questions about makeup sponges so I wanted to give you the low down when it comes to how often you should change it and how to clean them. As much as you may love your BeautyBlender, it does need a little TLC to keep it in great shape. So, how often should you swap out your makeup sponge, and how often should you clean it? Let's dive in.

If you're using it regularly, you'll want to switch it up every few months. Just like your toothbrush, your makeup sponge has a lifespan. Over time, those little pores can become a breeding ground for bacteria, and nobody wants that hanging out on their face. So, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a fresh sponge every couple of months. Your skin will thank you for it.
