Am I the only one who cleans my Beauty Blender before EVERY use??? I have NEVER used a dirty one. I bought a double pack with the blender cleanser liquid like 9 months ago and I rotate between the two B.B.'s... I figured since I use it damp, I might as well just clean it right before I use it. I am barely now just running out of cleanser after daily use for 9 months. So it really does last a long time AND it works really well, It gets ALL the makeup comes out every time. Takes me less than 90 seconds to clean. They're still going strong after 9 months (4.5 months each, I guess?) and I've never had a problem with them smelling.... But I will definitely start using this tip Tati, thank u! I still feel like I'm the only one who cleans it every time......
I do that, too. I just clean it with anti-bacterial dish washing soap before every use and it has never gotten stained or smelled bad.
Me too. I'll never put an unwashed beauty blender on my face. It's disgusting when I see video of girls putting on their foundation with a dirty ass beauty blender. Like you can't take 1 minute out of your day to clean that!?
I'm sooo glad I'm not the only one! After reading countless blogs and watching MANY UA-cam videos, I've never heard anyone talk about how easy it is to just clean it before EVERY use.... IJS :)
I'm the same with brushes. I used to spot clean my powder brush with alcohol after each use, and only washed it at the end of my work week. I used to constantly have blackheads and clogged pores no matter what pore clearing skincare I was using.
But now I have 2 powder brushes on rotation and each night when I remove my makeup & wash my face, I clean the brush I used that morning with baby shampoo. Then let it air dry for the next 32 hours. Over the past few months I've been using a clean brush every day, and I have not had one blackhead or clogged pore! And all the ones I had, have cleared up.
Upping your brush & sponge hygiene game will really help your skin, people!
I try to every time but sometimes I don't if I'm in a rush
Anyone here from tati’s newest video super sponge?
The Devil Meeee....
The Devil me 😂😂
Meeeeeeeeeeeee. I am HORRIBLE about not cleaning my makeup sponges & brushes. 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Yes, you're not alone 😂😂
Me
I know this video was a while ago but I just watched it and tried it. TATI.... you are a lifesaver. I just put my sponge in a bowl with an inch of hot water, put it in microwave for 30 seconds, held it under the hot water, got soap and started washing it... OMG the makeup came out like nobody's business. I struggle with a lot of acne and redness and I didn't even begin to think that dirty sponges could be one of the results of acne and breakouts. It truly did clean my sponge and I will definitely be using that technique more often. Hopefully it will help my skin improve a little bit. Thank you!!!!
i've been breaking out like crazy but fail to realize because my beauty blender has not been cleaned after so many uses... i am gross.
I feel that so much, I'm assuming it's why my skin has been so bad, but my laziness with cleaning it is shocking.
I just washed mine for the second time ever. :P Don't feel bad
Amy Huynh two years later && this is still so relatable
oh my lawwwd. im such a germophobe. my imagination would make something like this impossible.
😂😂
this is actually completely true, my microbiology teacher taught us about it last year. heat kills a lot of disgusting microbes that aren't good for your skin! I usually wash mine then do this, or vise versa :)
....tati I melted.mine in the microwave last year....make sure its very wet if your putting it in there guys! Im a bacteria freak so I microwave spongee all the time...worked great on my beauty blender untill that one day it melted a hole through it!
I'll tell you, this works! i use my real techniques sponge (different sponge) but make sure it has alot of water. I go for 1 and half minutes and it didn't melt my sponge. :) It's a great way to disinfect your sponge because heat kills the bacteria :) but don't try this with brushes
Thanks for this tip because I feel like my beauty blender is causing my spot breakouts, no matter how much I try to wash it. I will try this method. Thanks again.
Oh! Great tip! I've been soaking my blenders with alcohol, squeezing excess and leaving out to dry after I finish cleaning with soap. But was worried maybe that was damaging them. I'll try this one out and see which is better...
Anyone watching and loving Tati and this video in 2019? About to try this trick :)
If you have a Real Technique Beauty blender sponge, DO NOT MICROWAVE IT! I put mine in for 30 secs just like it said and it melted apart when I picked it up, fell onto my foot and burned the shit out of my toe...BEWARE!
I have the Real Technique Beauty blender sponge, I used this method and my sponge is still the same as before...
+MissPinkLipstick19 I mean you did have to clean it AFTER with soap...
+Diana R I think she means it didn't melt
Thanks for the heads up girl ❤️
Sophie Woollard Yes that's what I meant :D
According to the creator of the Beauty Blender: “The worst possible thing you can do is put it in the microwave,” Rea Ann says. “I doesn't kill bacteria, it just melts everything.” (Scientists agree with her)
vanessa ray I'm skeptical of that because the company wants to sell their own cleanser for it. Also, I've read articles that say science confirms the microbes kill the bacteria.
Beauty blender wants to sell you the expensive cleaneser from their brand. They will tell you that nothing works as good as their cleaneser. Well, they are lieying. You can use baby shampoo or any cleaneser. Nothing will happen if you put your sponge on the microwave. Worst case scenario your beauty blender just gets hot and no bacteria is killed.
luchy2234 heating can kill bacteria.... except you would need to boil your beauty blender or subject it to high heating to kill the bacteria
+Spooderman ^^yep
THANK YOU for the tip! I watch your vids occasionally but I finally subbed :) you're the most honest and sincere "beauty guru". Thank you for the knowledge and tips!!! I'm a huge germaphobe and I have acne so this beauty blender tip helped so much. Thank you. Genuinely grateful for this tip
Oh my gosh! I just went on a make-up brush cleaning spree including my beauty blender and I thought they were all clean. Was hesitant to try this trick but I thought I would after I thought I had cleaned my bb well and gotten all of the foundation and concealer out of it. I was quite disgusted with how much more make up came out of my "clean" bb it was feral and appeared like it had never been cleaned before, will definitely be remembering this trick and using it often! Thanks Tati :)
Normally, I don't like to comment but I really wanna tell you. You are really beautiful and your videos are awesome and very useful. I subscribe many other beauty gurus... but you are my favorite one :D
That is so sweet … It makes me extremely happy to know that my tips are useful ; ) Thank you so much for the kind comment & for watching my videos ~ xoxo
+Tati is it normal if a liquid of the color of my beauty blender comes out? It was pink like the sponge but it was kinda glittery and it smelled like the soap. Is it a reaction or what is it, it is new and it is the first one i get so, i don't know what to think about that
+Tati and also mine is waaaaay smaller than yours, i think it is because it was the beauty prep pack, the one that has a white and a pink one and the liquid soap

Wow Tati! I have microwaved my kitchen sponges for years, but never thought to do it with the beauty blender! Thank you so much! xx
I was searching how to clean my sponge on the internet, and on Polish site I get a link for your video. That was funny, because I watch your videos almost every day and didn’t notce that. You are the greatest
love this tip! i never wanted to invest in a beauty blender because of not being able to clean it properly, and i used to boil my kitchen sponges if they were fairly new yet still started to smell, but i had no idea you could just microwave them. thanks so much for sharing tati! and i love the bloopers ;)
Happy you liked this tip… seriously do this with your kitchen sponges also - it's an awesome way to extend their life! ; D
i definitely will, i hate when they're only a week old and already get that weird smell. i noticed a big difference when i switched from dawn to palmolive though, i think its something in the dawn that causes them to retain more bacteria. okay totally random but i thought id share :) thanks again!
Mine melted and caught on fire in the inside hahah
dropsofwonder i laughed at this so hard. thank for sharing lol
Did you put it in a bowl of water then microwave it or just microwave it by itself?
+dropsofwonder I just busted out laughing
oh no! you're not supposed to leave it on for long, something like 30 seconds
I'm so sorry but omg 😂 I'm dead. That's my worst nightmare.
The beauty blender solid cleanser cleans it better than anything else I've tried!
a great soap to clean brushes and sponges is Dr. Bronner, try it!
I thought about this bc I do actually do this with my sink sponge or I put it in the dishwasher. But was scared to do it to the BB just in case I made it fall apart. Thank you for reassuring me that is will work. great tip!!!
You must try backstage blender!!! It is the Dior version of the beauty blender and for me it's lovely
I just tried this tonight. It definitely works and seems to be very clean now. Thanks!!
daiso sponge detergent is the best when it comes to removing all the makeup residue on the makeup sponge
I did this and i loved how clean it left my BB. Thank you so much for this tip.
Great thought, duh Melissa! I do microwave my kitchen sponge, why not the beauty blender. FYI....the Marc Jacobs gel foundation is amazing!! Thank you!!
Oh awesome! Happy you like the foundation - I'm always excited to hear that someone liked a recommendation ; )
I always place my kitchen sponges in the microwave to kill bacteria, but never thought I could do the same with my beauty blender. Thank you for sharing!
This is such a good tip! I'm trying this tonight! I've only been cleaning it with baby shampoo and it still feels dirty..THANK YOU
I use vinegar and water in the microwave for my kitchen sponges cuz the vinegar kills bacteria. I'm sure the same can be used for beauty blender
Tati, I've been anxiously awaiting your proposed ' DIY matte navy manicure' tutorial. I'd love to see this before we get too far into spring where a navy-colored.pallet wouldn't be as seasonally appropriate. Thanks!
SO USEFUL! I use the real techniques beauty sponge and have been avoiding using it because I don't know how to clean it, thank you so much Tati xxx
Tati we need bloopers in your current videos too
I just started using the real techniques sponge and I got it out today to use it and it smelled !! And here I am, referring back to this video. Thank you!!! You're a dream :>
Shocked at the people who own a beauty blender but not a microwave!😳
Microwaves are bad anyways. It's a thing of the future NOT to have a microwave! Lol
Jessie Kastning I'm one of these people, lol, my family just thinks microwaves are bad
Im from indonesia, and were not really using microwave here lol
@@fridhayolanda7678 Instead you can boil it on a stove
I have a beauty sponge from elf but I do not own a microwave because my family and I think it's bad
Disinfection is so important! Acne isn't the worse that can happen
Thanks! The beauty blender cleaner works soooo good!! It gets my beauty blender like new! And I use it to clean my brushes too. It's awesome!!
I just tried this & my beauty blender melted
👁👄👁
@@piper9730 the way this is something not many people would understand 4 years ago lmao

Those were the CUTEST bloopers I have ever seen!! You should add bloopers to your latest videos, they're so funny and gosh-darn adorable!
Thank you so much Mary Maks! I really appreciate your time and your recomandation.
Great tip.
I use a bar of Dove soap to clean as it's great for getting makeup out
That is A life saver thank you so much ... Ily your my favourite your tuber i am so glad that u did I video with makeup geek cause if not I wouldn't have found your channel I love u so much and the fact that u post like a least 3 times a week is amazing all the other youtubers post only once a week and I can't seem to like them I love lots of videos and love that mint colour so glad I know what it is keep posting. I vote on daily videos 💕👌👌
Thank you so much for making this video tati, i have tried to clean my beauty blender so many times before this video, and i after i watched this, i tried microwaving my beauty blender, and it worked SO well!!
Thanks for the video, personally i bought the soap brand for it (about 14$) it takes literally 20 seconds of washing and it's done! if you don't care about price i recommend just buying the soap
in every single videos I am looking at your nails, they are so beautiful!
I just stumbled across this and Omg thank you! It worked so great! My beauty blender smells so much better and I fell so much better knowing it is disinfected! ☺️
That is a brilliant tip Tati. I have had radiotherapy recently so have to be scrupulous about what I put on my skin. My brushes get the whole rubbing alcohol treatment after each use and this is a great way to make sure there are no nasties lurking in my RT beauty sponge (I don't have the actual BB, it was a little too much for me!).
Thank you very much for this one - I can use my RT sponge after I have cleaned it properly now! It won't just be sat on my dressing table looking all pretty and unused anymore.
Hi, it's you again! :) We seem to watch the same people haha
I used to spot clean my powder brush with alcohol after each use, and only washed it at the end of my work week. I used to constantly have blackheads and clogged pores no matter what pore clearing skincare I was using. But now I have 2 powder brushes on rotation and each night when I remove my makeup & wash my face, I clean the brush I used that morning with baby shampoo. Then let it air dry for the next 32 hours. Over the past few months I've been using a clean brush every day, and I have not had one blackhead or clogged pore! And all the ones I had, have cleared up.
Upping your brush & sponge hygiene game will really help your skin, people!
We must be stalking the same people on here for sure :P ;)
Delilah Winchester Did you get my PM? The new YT layout sucks so I have no idea if it notifies you of a PM
I did and have sent one back x
Delilah Winchester I just PM'd you, it's long! And I also explain why it took so damn long :P hope to chat soon! xo
What about soaking the sponge in hot water from water boiler instead of microwaving it :)
That's what I'm gonna do. 😂
I tried this and it worked!! Thank you! I got my mum addicted to doing this to her beauty sponges as well ;) x
Perfect timing with this video ! I was just thinking yesterday how much I need to get a new beautyblender but now ill try this!
This video came at the perfect time! I just bought a BB dupe yesterday and was wondering what the best method of washing it would be. Thanks Tati!
Hotel bar of soap is so good for cleaning beauty blenders and brushes, SO good.
Omg i do the same!
It takes a very short time to clean the sponge after makeup application. It's laziness when people don't wash the sponge. You don't need a microwave if you wash it, squeeze excess water and lay it on a towel to dry- daily, no exceptions.
You can't possibly clean the middle of the sponge. This kills bacteria in the center.
I soak mine in soap and water and keep squeezing it. It runs very clear afterwards. It gets clean very well.
There's bacteria in the sponge- not just makeup. Washing the sponge doesn't get rid of the bacteria. That's exactly what she said....
I'm not going to argue with you, but if you understand how to wash something properly, it becomes clean and free of bacteria. Go ahead, microwave your sponges lol.
Glitter Nails
Washing does not kill bacteria or remove growing colonies, that's incorrect aseptic technique. Washing in conjunction with microwaving the sponge will ensure that it is not only squeaky clean, but free of potentially harmful microorganisms.
guys there is a great dupe for the solid blender cleanser just use Irish spring 😀 thanks tati love ya
great tip! I wash mine with antibacterial soap... i hate to think people are throwing a sponge away everyday! so not green..same with using face wipes
I love use the makeup sponge. I clean this but have nothing to hold it, still I have this tool-makeup sponge holder. And I never worry about my makeup sponge will growth of bacteria that cause my skin problem. I love this little thing. It is cute and functional. It also helps me keep things clean! You can search this “Sunmore Blender Drying Rack” and try this beauty holder.
Why didn't I think of this? I clean mine with baby shampoo but it never seems very clean. Trying this today. Thanks girl! XO
"Oh, I'm giving myself acne! I'm giving myself acne, ohh!" 😂
I always come back to this video! I loved tip Tuesday’s.... miss you Tati! 💝
I love this tip. I finally bought one after all the rave reviews on the BB. I love the bloopers at the end of your video. Too cute! XOXO
thanks for such a great tip!!! I thought of just throwing away my beauty blender b/c it was soo dirty. But now it's super clean :)
That's a great tip to use for your beauty blender! I just got mine yesterday and it works so flawlessly! I'm so impressed by the results! Before I bought it I did research about it and looked at other videos on UA-cam to see if it was a good decision to purchase it or not; and it was! I have a question though, When purchasing your new beauty blender, Do you have to wash it before you use it? I didn't do that but others say that you have to, just for the safety from it because it's new? ..
I don't have a beauty blender, but I am going to do this with my kitchen sponges from now on :) I change them every other day, which gets quite expensive, so time to save my money for beauty and fashion...jjaaayyy for that :D
I hadn't thought about the acne fear until you said this... now I'm mortified (kidding of course but I thought it was funny) - THANK YOU SO MUCH! Great tips! Always!
When I use to do makeup and hair I would go through many sponges The salon I worked in a lot of the girls reused them over and over which bothered me but I bought them out of pocket After I used the sponges on a client I would give it to I think them so they could take home. I never liked sponges even when washing dishes, Im a germa phobe for sure!! LOL!! Thanks for another great tip Tati!
Ever since I found this video I do this everytime I’ve used it and this has never failed me (I’ve never tried it on anything other than the actual Beauty blender) I just put enough water in the container to where my sponge/s can soak up most the water and leave atleast an inch left and then I microwave
Ty so much g or this..I just bought the Real Techniques 1 so this tip came @ just the right time♡♡♡ love ALL your tips Tati
Why didn't you wash your bb before popping it into the microwave to kill off bacteria? It's kind of like disinfecting it while it's still dirty so you should probably clean it first.
Also, how often do you recommend that we do this trick? Once a week maybe?
Can you do a video on how to de-pot and store your eyeshadows in the future? Love you Tati! :)
I wash mine in foil paper with dawn and extra virgin olive oil. Then, wash with warm water and dawn soap, until water runs clear. Thank you.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I still watch this video Tati!!!!!! Love you forever!!
I use Dawn antibacterial soap and it cleans it beautifully!
I love dawn soap! It's great for lots of things isn't it?
Mary Marks Mary, yes, it is. ANd it is expensive. ;-)
What a great tip! I'm definitely going to try this.
Hi Tati!
I just discovered you a few weeks ago, but now I'm addict. Just bought some of the lipsticks your recommend, and the beauty blender! I especially love the makeup suggestions you give for products to buy in Canada, since not all American products can be found in stores here.
Awesome tip, my dear. Never knew a microwave oven could do the trick! Yay!!!
She is grown so perfectly.
Just wanted to say it really works. Thank you for sharing!!!
Can you do a video comparing the beauty blender and the Real Techniques version?
I think you need to do a brush cleaning video of you cleaning all the brushes you own. that would be so satisfying & idk why
I've been doing this since I've purchased my very first Beautyblender! Except I wash mine with very hot water and Dawn (and only Dawn because it's so great at cleaning any oily products I've used) then I microwave it.
You should try out some beauty blender dupes. Curious to know what else is out there & i trust your opinion fully.
Those thumb out tops Tati wears are on Hautelook right now in pale blue and coral for $19.00, under Balance I believe.
Aw. The bloopers 😂..... thanks for the easy tip Tati!
Pretty sure you can put in the freezer as well. Like after you clean it first then pop it in the freezer after it dries. And if you leave it in there overnight it should kill the bacteria. Should work in theory but idk if that might damage it somehow???
I'm gonna experiment with that!
the freezer just slows down the bacteria growth but it doesn't kill them where as heat kills them completely
thanks again you look gorgeous and the end was funny
pfff I don't have a microwave and will never purchase one, I don't really trust eating microwafev food :-)
I was watching how you washed your beauty blender....mine broke after only a few uses a little more than a week and I washed it like you did...I really wanted this to work for me such a pity
and I am hsving breakouts in spite of not sharing it and washing it every time...bah
thank you again take care! baci
Great tip! But how do you get it completely pink again? No matter how much I wash mine, you can see some fondation on it.
Awesome. I do that with my kitchen sponges
What if I boil some water and put it in there for like 1 minute??isnt that the same thing??please respond !
it'l melt
mbea88 it can melt if it is exposed to very hot water
I don't use sponges for make up but I love the idea of doing this to my dish sponges :) thanx Tati
the beauty blender is the most fastest most effective way ive been using foundation....imo. its better than my brushes i use and it makes me look better because of the smooth finish and i feel better because i didnt need alot to use after i put the product on my face.
bloopers are awesome!! xx thanks for tip :)
TIP: Use dish detergent as a beauty blender cleaner!! I have a video on my channel :D
Or baby shampoo!
Much more gentle on the sponge and if any is left behind
tigana I just watched yours! ;)
Tati I am very sad, but I tried this with my beauty blender and it worked the first time but the second time it totally wrecked it because it made a bubble inside and made it rip and I had to just throw it away and buy a new one :(
I use Castile Soap to wash my Beauty Blender after Microwaving it, it works amazing!
Lol throwback! love you, its amazing how youve grown!
god her makeup looks amazing
Good tips! A friend of mine just bought one of these the other days so I'm definitely sharing this with her.
Thank you sooo much, the tip was great! And your makeup is absolutely beautiful, it reminds me of Leighannsays' everyday wearable mermaid look! Can't wait for summer to try those looks out.
Seriously, we need bloopers on every video
I’m confident with everything you said apart from one point....’any soap you like’
Do you mean the stuff you wash you face with, fairy liquid, a bar r of soap I can to list them all but ....eeek please reply if you can help I so so confused. Also I know beauty blender so their own soap but I don’t think it is worth if for the money!
Love you Tati xxx
