How Often to Clean Makeup Brushes and Sponges

Makeup brushes and sponges need different cleaning routines. AAD guidance recommends washing brushes every seven to ten days and cleaning sponges after every use. This guide explains how to turn those intervals into a workable home routine, with gentle cleaning steps, drying space and a simple way to keep used tools separate. It also explains the limits of a quick surface wipe and why clean tools do not diagnose or cure breakouts. Follow the tool maker's care instructions alongside this general hygiene advice.

The focus is everyday product use, rather than preparation for a beauty procedure.
