Cleaning your Meerah Belle Contour Star Makeup Sponge is essential for maintaining their performance and keeping your skin healthy. Dirty sponges can harbor bacteria, leading to breakouts and uneven makeup application. If you haven’t cleaned yours yet, now’s the time!

What You’ll Need:

✔️ A gentle cleanser or baby shampoo
✔️ Warm water
✔️ A small bowl or sink
✔️ A paper towel or clean cloth
✔️ (Optional: A sponge cleaning mat)

Easy Guide to Keep Your Sponges Fresh & Long-Lasting

Step 1: Wet the Sponge

💡 Meerah Belle Tip: Use lukewarm water to prevent damage to the sponge material.

✔️ Hold the sponge under running warm water and squeeze gently to allow it to absorb water.
✔️ This helps loosen makeup residue for easier cleaning.

Step 2: Add Cleanser

💡 Pro Tip: Baby shampoo or other gentle cleanser works best as they won’t damage the sponge fibers.

✔️ Apply a small amount of cleanser directly to the damp sponge.
✔️ A little goes a long way!

Step 3: Lather and Clean

💡 Meerah Belle Tip: Use a sponge cleaning mat for deeper cleaning.

✔️ Gently rub the sponge in your palms or on a cleaning pad.
✔️ Focus on high-makeup areas like the center of the sponge.
✔️ Squeeze and massage to loosen makeup buildup.

Step 4: Rinse and Repeat

💡 Pro Tip: Rinse until water runs clear to ensure no residue is left behind.

✔️ Hold the sponge under warm water again and gently squeeze.
✔️ If makeup is still visible, repeat the cleanser-lather-rinse process.

Step 5: Squeeze Out Excess Water

💡 Meerah Belle Tip: Avoid twisting the sponge to prevent damage.

✔️ Gently press the sponge to remove excess water.

Step 6: Dry the Sponge Properly

💡 Pro Tip: Let your sponge air dry completely before storing.

✔️ Place the sponge on a clean towel or paper towel.
✔️ Leave it in a well-ventilated area to dry overnight.

🚨 Warning: Never store a damp sponge, it can lead to bacteria growth!

How Often Should You Clean Your Sponge?

✔ Daily Use: Wash your sponge weekly.
✔ Heavy Use (Foundation Concealer Daily): Wash every 3-4 days to prevent buildup.
