How often do you wash the puff of your cushion foundation?

I use a cushion foundation for touch-ups and base makeup every day when I go to work, so I'm suddenly curious about how often I should wash this puff—how often do other people wash it? ㅠㅠ I know hygiene is super important since it touches my face directly every day, but honestly, washing it every time is such a hassle that I keep putting it off.

I usually only wash my puffs with foam cleanser or a dedicated detergent when I can roughly tell they're soaked in foundation and look grubby. However, it feels a bit unsanitary to pat my face with a puff that has been left sitting around for days, and I suspect my breakouts might be caused by it. I've heard that the residue left on the puff mixes with sebum and dust from my face, creating the perfect environment for bacteria to breed.

Lately, I've been getting unexplained red breakouts and small, bumpy pimples around my chin and cheeks, and I'm wondering if this isn't a problem with the cosmetics but rather a side effect caused by a dirty puff.

  • 잔뜩 쩔어있고 꼬질꼬질해지면 그제야 세척해요 귀찮기도하고요
  • 며칠씩 방치한 퍼프를 그대로 얼굴에 두드리는 게 왠지 너무 찝찝해요
  • 매일 얼굴에 직접 닿는 거니까 피부 장벽 지키려면 퍼프 위생부터 꼭 신경 써야 하더라고요.
  • 세척할 때 클렌징오일로 파운데이션 녹여내고 폼클렌징으로 마무리하면 금방 깨끗해져요.
  • 퍼프 두번 쓰면 세척합니다.민감성이라 자주 빨아씁니다.
  • 눈에 파운데이션 쩔어있을 때까지 버티지 마시고 최소 일주일에 한 번은 꼭 세척해 보세요.
  • 트러블 올라오는 게 퍼프 세균 때문일 확률이 높으니 세척 주기 무조건 당기셔야 해요.
  • 더러운 퍼프에 피지랑 먼지 엉키면 세균 번식해서 볼이랑 턱에 트러블 유발하기 딱 좋습니다.
  • 퍼프 매번 빨아 쓰기 진짜 귀찮죠. 꼬질꼬질해져야 겨우 빨게 되는 거 완전 공감해요.
