Squeeze a cleansing liquid or rub a bar of soap along the mitt so it’s fully saturated (I prefer a basic, unscented soap like Dr. Gently squeeze your sponge under running water until it’s totally wet. Most makeup brush mitts will do the trick, but my personal faves are Beautyblender’s Keep It Clean (it slips over your hand, so it’s v convenient) and Sephora Collection’s Solid Brush and Sponge Cleaner Mini (it comes with a bar of soap). That’s why I love using a texturized silicone pad- it gives me a gentle but effective surface to deep-clean my Beautyblender without tearing or snagging it. The key to cleaning a makeup sponge? Using enough friction that you actually clean it-but not so much that you damage it (little sponges are delicate, y’all).
