What causes face wash?

1. Some newly bought facial cleansing puffs may have an odor, which is related to factors such as the production environment and raw materials. Usually, the odor will disappear after washing with clean water.

2. After being used once, a facial cleansing puff that has not been used for a long time will also have a smell. This is because it has not been used for too long, and the bacteria and dust that fall on the facial cleansing puff may change the molecules contained in the facial cleansing puff.

3. A facial cleansing puff that has been used for a long time and not washed will have a smell. This is easy to understand. Frequent use of the facial cleansing puff will carry facial dirt and oil on the puff. At the same time, bacteria and dust will enter during storage. If it is not cleaned, it will naturally produce an odor.

4. Keep the face cleansing puff next to the sink, because it is relatively humid next to the sink, which is the favorite place for bacteria. At the same time, when using the sink, water droplets will inevitably fall on the face cleansing puff. The face cleansing puff is in a wet state for a long time and will emit an odor.
