Many girls test cosmetics in stores before buying, but this can hardly be called a good idea after watching a video posted by a popular microbiologist. At the request of his subscribers, the specialist took swabs from lipstick, blush, eye shadow, concealer and mascara in the Sephora French store, and then placed the samples in Petri dishes and incubated for several days.
To his amazement, the samples of lipstick, concealer and mascara were completely clean, but the rest of the cosmetics were teeming with various germs. On contaminated dishes, the microbiologist found hundreds of small dots and smears of colonies hiding on used cosmetics. All of these bacteria can cause staphylococcal infections, such as respiratory illnesses, pneumonia, and urinary tract infections.
While stores usually offer cotton pads and sticks to consumers, many girls instead apply makeup directly to their faces with their own fingers. After that, buyers can develop herpes, cystitis, and even more serious infections, such as diseases of the bones and blood flow. In addition, a considerable number of bacteria also live on banknotes.
How explain dermatologists, if you need to test cosmetics, make sure that the tester is sealed and that the testing instruments are individual and unused. Of course, the best option would be to completely abandon the testers, otherwise you will have to fork out a lot for a doctor and medicines. In extreme cases, you can sprinkle lipstick with an alcohol spray, and then wipe it with a tissue if you really need to test it on yourself – but it’s better to try on the back of your hand.
