As a dermatologist, I stay away from makeup sponges because they trap bacteria, oils, and dead skin cells, which can lead to breakouts, irritation, or even infections. ⁠ ⁠ Even when cleaned regularly, sponges are a breeding ground for microbes. For healthy, glowing skin, I recommend using clean brushes or your fingertips instead. Less bacteria, less irritation, and just as flawless coverage. 🧴✨ #DermTips #DrGeetaYadav
