If you wear makeup, you might use a beauty blender. This makeup tool is perfect for applying your foundation. But, did you know that there is a good chance that there is mold in your beauty blender. Bah! A woman on TikTok shared this by cutting open her beauty blender, and sure enough, there were a few mold spots in the beauty blender.
Mold in beauty blender
Wet a beauty blender and then apply your foundation to your face. Precisely because you wet your beauty blender in combination with the products you apply to it, mold develops on the inside. The inside does not always have time to dry completely or to be properly cleaned. Molds like moist environments. Especially if you do not let your beauty blender dry properly and clean it regularly or replace it infrequently, mold will develop. And then you put that fungus on your face. Eewl! This is not only unhygienic, but also causes impurities more quickly, for example.

What to do against mold?
Do you have a beauty blender that you’ve been using since high school? Then it might be time to cut it open and check whether there is mold in it. Whether or not there is mold in it, if you have been using a beauty blender for so long, it is time for a replacement. Especially if you have not cleaned it regularly. Another tip to prevent mold in your beauty blender is to clean it thoroughly regularly. Preferably after each use, but otherwise at least once a week.
How do you clean your beauty blender?
Cleaning your beauty blender is very easy. It is best to use a neutral shampoo or, for example, a baby shampoo. This is perfect for cleaning your makeup brushes, but also a beauty blender. Wet the beauty blender, add some shampoo and squeeze it a few times. This way you rinse out all the product. Rub the shampoo well over the beauty blender and rinse it with warm water. You repeat this until no more product comes out.
