The material directly affects the feel, durability, and makeup effect. When choosing a puff, match it to your skin type:
Microfiber/Hydrophilic Polyurethane (e.g., "Marshmallow" material): Soft like marshmallow, expands when wet, applies makeup evenly and smoothly, works best when wet, suitable for dry skin. However, regular cleaning is necessary to prevent mold.
Nitrile Rubber (NBR)/Natural Sponge: Elastic, oil-resistant, and age-resistant, can be used both wet and dry. The mainstream material for mid-to-high-end puffs, durable and doesn't shed easily, suitable for most skin types.
Food-Grade Silicone Coating: Used in some high-end puffs, this technology minimizes foundation absorption, saving product, especially suitable for oily and combination skin.
Disposable Puffs: Hygienic and convenient, suitable for travel or temporary touch-ups, but not environmentally friendly and has a rougher texture, unsuitable for frequent daily use.
