I take pretty good care of my skin, so when my forehead began breaking out I couldn’t figure out for the life of me what the culprit could be. As I began a process of elimination, and my focus went to my makeup tools. Specifically my makeup sponges. How long have I had them? When was the last time I cleaned them? Who knows?

It’s best to buy new sponges, but if you’re a super recycler like me, you can just clean them and buy new makeup sponges when the old ones start breaking down. I hit them with a little shampoo and rinsed them clean. I repeated the process three or four times, until I got them as clean as possible. Let them air dry, and they were like new. The sponges won’t get completely white again, but they’ll be clean enough where the old oils, makeup, and bacteria from your skin are removed.

Lo and behold, a week later my forehead is clearing up. Back to being fresh!
