Mold in Beauty Blenders - Fact or TikTok Fiction?

Scrolling through TikTok lately? You’ve probably seen the viral videos claiming beauty blenders are mold magnets. Some show sponges being sliced open to reveal horrifying mold colonies growing inside. Gross, right? But is there any truth to it, or is it just another social media scare?

Unfortunately, it’s real. Beauty blenders are the perfect storm for mold growth because they stay damp after use, and when not dried properly, they can harbor moisture deep inside. Combine that with makeup residue and warm bathroom environments, and you’ve got yourself a mold paradise. Every time you dab that sponge on your face, you could be spreading mold and bacteria onto your skin.

The fix? It’s all about proper care. You should wash and dry your beauty blender after every use—yes, every single use. Using our Puradry drying racks will ensure your beauty tools, including those pesky sponges, get proper ventilation and dry quickly, so you’re not left wondering what’s growing inside. Don’t let your beauty routine become a moldy mess—dry smarter, not harder.
