We all know a little bit about how amazing BB cushion foundations are. Most Korean pop stars and celebrities absolutely love them and use it at the start of their makeup routine to get that glowing effect.
While most people think cleaning their BB cushion puff isn’t necessary because you’ll get a new one each time you purchase a refill pack, the truth is, you actually do. Think about it: if used every day, a BB cushion pack can last about two to three months, which means two to three months of you using the same exact puff every single day.
With all the moisture from the liquid foundation and the humidity of our tropical climate combined, you’ll end up with a bacteria infested puff that could easily cause break outs.
Not washing your puff is so counter intuitive to your skincare routine so make it a point to cleanse it. But, we’ve got your back. Here are the correct steps to washing your BB cushion foundation puff:
Just like your skin, your BB cushion foundation puff needs to be oil cleansed as well.
Start by wetting your puff with water. Afterwards, put a thin layer of oil cleanser all over and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This process melts away leftover foundation and makeup particles.
Squeeze out all the gunk and rinse with water thoroughly.
As it turns out, double cleansing isn’t just for your skin. It’s great for your BB cushion foundation puff too.
Washing your puff with face wash or brush cleaner can help get rid of other makeup debris that could potentially clog your pores and leave you with nasty break out episodes.
Whatever you do, be sure to cleanse gently so your cushion puff doesn’t lose its shape and texture.
Once you’re done cleansing, rinse your puff with some warm water. This helps to disinfect it and properly cleanse it.
Carefully press your puff into a kitchen towel to get excess water out. Afterwards, let your puff air dry and it’ll be softer than you first had it!
We recommend cleansing all your beauty tools at least once a week or if you’re really lazy, once every fortnightly.
