Can a face wash puff be used as a powder puff? What is the difference between a face wash puff and a powder puff?

Many people use a facial cleansing puff when washing their face. A powder puff is a very common makeup tool and is usually included in loose powder and pressed powder boxes. The two look somewhat similar, so, can the face-cleansing puff be used as a powder puff? Can it be replaced?

Can a face wash puff be used as a powder puff?

cannot. A facial cleansing puff is used to clean the skin and is a facial cleansing tool. But the powder puff is used for applying makeup and is a makeup tool. Although both are made of sponge material and have the function of absorbing water, they cannot be replaced. Using a face-cleansing puff as a powder puff will not disfigure your face, but it will affect your makeup, such as consuming cosmetics, absorbing powder, increasing the thickness of your makeup, and failing to cover blind spots.

Powder puffs cannot be used as face wash puffs

A face-cleansing puff cannot be used as a powder puff, and conversely, a powder puff cannot be used as a face-cleansing puff to wash your face. The powder puff is mainly used for applying powder, and there is powder fat residue on the puff. If you use a powder puff to wash your face, it will affect the dryness of the puff, which will affect the subsequent application of powder. Secondly, the powder residue on the powder puff may clog the pores on the face, making the skin dirtier the more you wash it.

What are the effects of using a face wash puff as a powder puff?

1. Consumption of cosmetics

You can use a powder puff to apply liquid foundation, BB cream, loose powder, pressed cake, etc. If you use a facial cleansing puff instead of a powder puff, the facial cleansing puff has a larger area and may pick up too much makeup at one time, but the human face is only so big, so the extra part will be wasted.

2. Eat noodles

The facial cleansing puff contains abundant sponge pores, which can absorb skin oil, dirt, etc. If you use it to put on makeup, after dipping in the cosmetics, the sponge pores will accordingly absorb some of the cosmetics, which is what we often call "eating powder". In this way, you have to use too much cosmetics each time.

3. Increase the thickness of makeup

The area of ​​the face cleansing puff is large, so it is easy to pick up too much makeup at one time. If you don't control the strength when using it, it will result in too much makeup on your face, and the resulting makeup effect will be very stiff and heavy.

4. Blind spots are not covered

The facial cleansing puff has a large area. If you use it to apply makeup, it will be difficult to completely cover some subtle areas such as the wings of the nose and hairline, resulting in uneven makeup. So, I just say that it is not recommended to use a face cleansing puff as a powder puff. If you use it, it will not disfigure you. At most, it will affect your makeup, but it will not harm your skin.
