Sponges and brushes for applying makeup is dangerous not less than a sponge for washing dishes
If you've to use cosmetics, we sincerely hope that you are all right, and not overdue the cosmetics. The fact that the results of a new study, which was published in the journal , indicate that 90% of the funds for makeup literally swarming . If you recently or long ago, or never wash sponges and sponges for makeup, the chances are that you every day, smear the face of dangerous bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Citrobacter freundii is very high.
does the beauty of such victims?
The results of the study showed that up to 90% of cosmetics and makeup can contain a vast amount of deadly bacteria. Researchers from Aston University in the UK tested four popular cosmetic products that are in the purses of the subjects: lipstick, lip gloss, eyeliner and mascara and found alarming levels of bacterial contamination. The higher in the above-mentioned products were water content, the higher the probability of contamination.
But that's not all: scientists are very concerned about the use of sponges and sponges for applying makeup, which became especially popular in the last few years. Typically, they are used for applying creams and they contain a record amount of threat and fungi. In total, the team analyzed 467 products — 96 lipsticks, 92 eyeliner, mascara 93, 107 lip gloss and 79 of make-up sponges. In his article, the researchers write that despite the fact that cosmetic products must not contain organisms, from 70 to 90% used cosmetics are contaminated with bacteria. But where are they from?
We urge our readers not to use the testers in stores
In search of the reasons the researchers conducted a survey of owners of contaminated cosmetic products and found that the problem most likely has to do with errors while applying makeup. However, also important is the shelf life of cosmetics. The fact that after the expiry the amount of preservatives that prevent the growth of bacteria, is reduced. Thus, the 2013 results showed that the majority of respondents continue to use cosmetics after the expiration date. But this is not the worst: 93% of respondents admitted that they never wash their sponges and brushes for applying makeup and for 64.4% reported that they had used the sponges after they fell on the floor. Thus, even if you wash the sponges, the likelihood that they will remain dangerous bacteria is quite high. The researchers also report that if you do not dry the sponges after washing in warm water with soap, will continue to reproduce even faster.
Scientists are convinced of the need to inform consumers about the proper use of cosmetics and wash sponges and brushes for applying makeup. Moreover, the researchers warn consumers against counterfeit and expired cosmetics.
