Beauty sponges are very popular as they are an easy way to get a smooth finish from the makeup application. They come in various shapes and sizes but what is not common sense is that the sponges should be washed regularly.

The most logical way is to wash the sponge with water and soap (or a mild shampoo), rub it with your hands, be careful not to rip it, and then wait for it to dry. This can be done every few days according to the frequency of use and will avoid the creation of bacteria that could be in contact with the skin and cause acne and other more severe conditions.

As this procedure might be boring for a few people, an easier way to get the sponges cleaned is by using a sponge washing machine. One example of this is the Falagasa Makeup Sponge Washing Machine. It can be found online or in some specific stores and can be used to clean cosmetic sponges, makeup brushes, and eyelashes. Furthermore, it also has a practical and small design that is made to decrease the damage to the hands.

To use, just pour water into the washer, and turn on the switch, which will make the washing machine start to rotate like a real washer. It will also help dry the items when using its dehydration bucket, which is a process that can take many hours when done by air.
