Why cleaning your powder puff is important
Cleaning your powder puff is important for both hygiene and the longevity of the product. A dirty powder puff can harbor bacteria which can cause breakouts and skin irritation. Additionally, a build-up of product on the puff can affect the application and effectiveness of your makeup.
Gather your supplies
Before cleaning your powder puff, make sure you have the right supplies. You will need a gentle cleanser, warm water, a towel, and a clean and dry surface to let the puff dry. Some people also like to use a mesh bag or washing machine for a deeper clean.
Cleaning your powder puff
To clean your powder puff by hand, start by dampening the puff with warm water. Then, add a small amount of gentle cleanser to the puff and work it into a lather. Use your fingers to gently massage the puff and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Squeeze out any excess water and lay the puff on a towel to dry. Make sure the puff is completely dry before using it again.
Deep cleaning your powder puff
If your powder puff is extremely dirty, you may want to do a deep clean. To do this, place the puff in a mesh bag or pillowcase and add it to your washing machine. Use a gentle cycle and add a small amount of gentle cleanser to the wash. Once finished, lay the puff on a towel to dry.
