If your puffy makeup sponge has some black spots on it, we regret to tell you there's mold growing on it. There's several reasons why this could be the case but one of the most common ones is that you're storing it wet. "When you remove oxygen and light from anything that is moist, you have the opportunity for mold and bacteria to start forming," Rea Ann Silva, creator of the Beautyblender, told Health. Avoid storing your damp sponge in an enclosed bag and instead, opt for a breathable mesh to keep your Beautyblender on the go. However, you should always try to dry your sponge before putting it away. You can do that by placing it in a cool ventilated area, according to Ebony.
Refrain from using a moldy Beautyblender because the mold and bacteria on it would go directly to your face. In case you want to remove the mold from your sponge, try using the brand's cleansers.
