It’s important to remember that DRYING your makeup sponges and brushes is just as important as cleaning them, too! Mold grows quickly if they’re left damp for too long. Leave them to dry in the sunshine, as opposed to a dark, damp bathroom. If your makeup sponge is really funky, best to invest in a new one.
