So earlier i oppened the Beauty blender/face sponge ( im confused about those 2 ) that my mom bought for me from delivery. i decided to put hot water in a cup, then dipped the sponge in it… (The sponge came with a container because i wanted it to have one) ofcourse i squeezed it then let off all of the water inside, The thing is, i put it back into its cointainer when it was still moist. (Which is mostly the part where im wrong)
Later my mom came then asked me why it’s still moist, i told here the things i did then she blabbed/scolded me about how you’re not supposed to wash “freshly delivered” Sponges and how it will give me a face infection now that I’ve washed it.
Was there something i did wrong? Is my mom right? If she is, please do enlighten me about sponges. (P.s excuse my bad grammar I’m asian)
They can grow mold but they shouldn’t if you care for it properly.
That is why the sponges need to be dry before putting it into a container. If the container is airtight, you are just trapping the moisture in with your sponge if it’s damp. Mold needs moisture to grow so the best way of preventing this is to let it dry completely after you wash it before putting it away.
