Deadly bugs found in 9 out of 10 makeup bags thesundaily makeup ecoli straphylococci pinkeye conjunctivits mascara fashion
Pink eye is just one of the risks of using contaminated eye makeup. Sergey Granev/Shutterstockrecently tested 467 makeup products, donated by people in the UK, for bacterial and fungal contamination and found that 90% contained potentially deadly germs. These products, which included lipstick and mascara, could pose a significant health threat.
Also, some strains of Staphylococci, such as Staphylococcus aureus, have become more resistant to antibiotics. S aureus is fairly contagious and can cause skin infections, including impetigo. We found that these products are particularly susceptible to contamination as they are often left damp after use, which creates an ideal breeding ground for harmful bacteria. Most of the beauty blenders we tested had never been cleaned, despite two-thirds of those we surveyed admitting that they’d dropped them on the floor.
