Dermatologist Shereene Idriss shows what mold in a beauty sponge looks like and explains why it grows. Don't store sponges in closed pouches, wash them daily, let them air dry on the counter, and replace every three months.
I think there is mold on my beauty blender. Look at that. I am not surprised. Tiff, we are gonna do a little show and tell. Grab those scissors baby. Who the hell am I? I'm a 40 year old board certified dermatologist. A pretty silicone pouch which is the perfect breeding ground for in my opinion, mold, bacteria and just badness. Open it up Tiff. Now time for mine. So what have we been doing differently? I have been washing mine and leaving it to dry on my counter in my bathroom. Whereas Tiff has been putting hers in a very cute little mold. But the reality is it's actually a mold that grew mold. But the reality is this is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and crap. And you need to either toss it or I don't know, do something else with this. And washing it every day after you use it and keeping it on your vanity, plus changing it every three months, the way to go.
