There&#;s no better feeling than opening a fresh Beautyblender canister and seeing your precious new sponge in its purest form, am I right? No stains, no spots&#;just pure pink goodness.

But unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and at some point, you&#;ll want to replace your Beautyblender for a new one.
Luckily, there are a few things you can do to increase the longevity of your sponge before you recycle it&#;which leads us to the ultimate question: Refresh or Replace? Here are the signs to look for so you know when to replace your Beautyblender or if you just need a deep clean.
If you&#;re thinking your BB is nearing the end of the road, it&#;s time to do a health check. Typically, Beautyblenders last anywhere from 3 to 6 months, depending on how well you take care of it. A good way to think of it is by season. Once the weather changes and a new season comes in, give your sponge a check-up. It may have more life left in it than you think!
Ask yourself, how dirty is it? Is it just stained, or are there nicks and tears too? Has it maintained its symmetrical egg figure, or is it slightly misshapen?
If you notice your sponge is misshapen, give it a good deep-clean before tossing it. Remember: clean tools, flawless application. You might notice your sponge bouncing even better after a good cleanse to get any leftover product out.
That&#;s why we always recommend using a damp Beautyblender for minimal absorption&#;the goal is to get all of your precious product on your skin, not in your sponge!
Pro Tip: When you use a dry Beautyblender without consistent cleaning, it&#;s more likely to absorb product and hold it within the sponge. Of course, you may not always be near a sink or have water on hand when you&#;re touching up your makeup with a BB (hello, traveling beauty lovers!). That&#;s why cleaning your sponge often to avoid grime and buildup is so important.
Once you wash out your old makeup sponge, you&#;ll likely find that your sponge has got a little more life in her. Plus, regular cleansing can extend the life of your Beautyblender.
Our all-natural, vegan, Blendercleanser formulas gently remove grime and buildup while conditioning the exclusive foam with coconut and sustainable palm oils. The key to keeping your sponge in pristine condition is to cleanse it every day. We know, we know&#;it seems like a daunting task. We hardly even have time to make our morning coffee (jk, we always have time for coffee). Luckily, perfection is not the goal here. An everyday cleanse is ideal, but it&#;s okay if you miss a day or two. Just remember to do a deep clean whenever you get the chance for ultimate freshness.
If you want to multitask, throw a bunch of blenders in a bath with Liquid Blendercleanser. You&#;ll come back to pristine blenders. If you&#;re a jet setter, try the travel-friendly solid Blendercleanser Solid, which allows you to scrub your sponge against a solid cleaning agent. If you&#;re into long-wear formulas and have stubborn stains, try Blendercleanser Charcoal- this formula uses charcoal to draw out stains like a magnet.
Last but not least, our InstaClean spray is a fast-drying spot cleaner for those busy days when you don&#;t have time for a full cleanse. It&#;s like a dry shampoo for your hair&#;it dries fast and allows you to switch from one product to the next for a true-to-color application every time. All of our cleansers also work great for makeup brushes if you want to double down on cleaning your tools.
Pro Tip: To increase the longevity of your sponge in addition to cleaning, try to keep it separate from other makeup products in your bag. Our Blender Defender is your blender&#;s new BFF. This portable, shatterproof vented travel case is perfect for keeping your sponge protected from other products in your bag while also letting it breathe. Your grime-free BB will thank you!
A sponge with nicks and tears can still be used, but know that it&#;s close to the end of its life. We know, RIP.
The goal is to keep the bouncy, cushy softness of your sponge for as long as possible for the ultimate bounce factor and an even application. It&#;s the bounce that gives that flawless, airbrushed finish we all know and love. If you&#;ve been using the same sponge for a while and notice that it&#;s not as squishy or pillowy as it once was after cleansing, it might be time to toss it.
Don&#;t forget&#;Beautyblenders are recyclable, as well as the canister it comes in! So when the time comes, make sure you recycle your sponge.

How long should you use a makeup sponge? Spoiler alert: the keyword in that sentence is *should.* Reusing and recycling is a great way to protect the environment and save money, but it&#;s not a great way to care for your makeup tools. Here&#;s everything you need to know about makeup sponges &#; including how often you should be buying new ones.
In short: all kinds of nasty stuff. Unfortunately, makeup sponges are not self-cleaning like soap. (Raise your hand if you&#;ve binge watched Friends recently enough to get that reference: &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;.)
That means every time you use a dirty one, you&#;re putting the bacteria and dirt that breed on uncleaned sponges back onto your face. That can lead to:

- Clogged pores- Rashes- Infections- Acne
What&#;s worse: a dirty, overloaded makeup sponge won&#;t work as well, which means you&#;ll end up using more product for a less perfect result. Ain&#;t nobody got time for that!
A good rule of thumb is to swap out your Beautyblender every 3-6 months, just like your toothbrush and mascara. If you clean it after every use, you should have no problem making it to that mark, even if you use it daily.
If there are some days you go makeup-free, you might be able to stretch the life of your blender. But if you&#;re using it to do all it can do &#; moisturize, contour, bake &#; you probably just want to go ahead and make the change every 3-6 months, depending on how often you use your blender.
Proactive Pro-Tip: Set a reminder every 3-6 months and you&#;ll never have to worry about how long you should use your makeup sponge again &#;.
Let&#;s be real: You can&#;t do a full Blender Bathtime every day! You need options. Here are 4, as well as a handy chart to help you decide what&#;s right for you.
Our Liquid Blendercleanser solution is effective yet gentle enough to use every day on your blender, as well as on your other makeup brushes. Simply wet your blender with the solution and work it into a gentle lather.
For slip-proof cleaning, use Liquid Blendercleanser with our Keep.It.Clean tool. The flexible silicone cleansing pad slides right over your hand to form a sturdy cleansing surface, and the texture helps lift stubborn stains without tearing your blender.
If you&#;re on-the-move and only have time for a quick clean, pump a few spritzes of our Instaclean spray directly onto your blender and use a towel to remove residue &#; no rinsing needed.
Blendercleanser Solid cleansers are made to tackle your toughest cleanup jobs.
