I always see questions about how to clean a beauty blender so I thought I'd share on how to clean mine. I use inexpensive products.

Products I use are a bowl,dish soap & my BB.

First, I put my soap into my bowl not too much & not too little. I damp my BB with some warm water & dip it in the soap all the way around I kind of run to every area especially where it's more stained. After, I run it down with cold water & gently squeeze my BB you'll notice the cosmetic residue coming down with your water, I keep repeating my first step with my soap. When I start seeing there's no color coming out I let it sit for two minutes of so & again add a little less soap & if you still see the color of foundation or any makeup I suggest to repeat till you don't. I do it twice so I make sure I get everything out. I put it in clean towel or a clean area & let it air dry it takes about hour so maybe try doing it at night so you can use it in the morning or whenever your ready to use the BB again.

Using dish soap kills all the bacteria that's been storing up inside if you need to storage it somewhere I suggest it's a clean area because I seen some people grow mold because their storing it in the wrong places with bacteria to come inside & mold up the water that needs to be dried up still. I personally find it better than buying an expensive "cleaner" that's meant for only beauty blenders. I'm not cheap at all but if I find other alternatives than I do because I prefer saving than spending if I can just do it myself. But here's a picture of before & after when I wash mine. Also,if you guys have any other ideas you'd like to share let me know😊I love finding new ways of new things!
