Special Cleansing Solution for Beauty Blender

  • There is a special cleanser that is provided with the beauty blender for the purpose of cleansing your Beauty Blender sponge. It is called the blender cleanser. The cleanser is Lavender scented. The fresh smell is retained only while the sponge is wet and disappears once your Beauty Blender gets dry.
  • This cleanser has a special formula that is Soy based and does not harm either your Beauty Blender sponge or your skin while it manages to remove all the oil, grime and makeup product build up from your makeup sponge. This cleanser is multi purpose and can be used to clean other makeup application tools like puffs and makeup brushes.
  • If you are using the commercially available cleanser then make sure your Beauty Blender moist but not dripping wet and pour a dime sized quantity of the cleanser over it. Gently rub the surface of beauty blender to work on getting rid of the product build up on the surface of Beauty Blender.
  • Alternatively, you can drip the Beauty Blender in soapy- warm water. Side by side, keep squeezing the sponge to remove the soap suds, under running water. Keep doing this till no more suds get squeezed out. It can take quite some time. At last, dip your beauty blender in clean water containing some antiseptic liquid and then wring out all the water.
  • You can roll it in a clean tissue paper and then keep it on a clean surface to sun/air dry.
