Seriously-take it from me, someone who genuinely hates cleaning my makeup brushes, when I say that actually taking five minutes to just do the damn thing is significantly better than letting your Beautyblender or makeup sponge continue to sit and fester with built-up skin gunk and grime, makeup, skin oils, and bacteria.
Mmmkay, listen up: You need to clean your Beautyblender and makeup sponges way, way more frequently than you currently do (which I’m guessing is, um, once or twice a year max?).
