We send our makeup brushes in a laboratory - and immediately regretted it

There are two types of users of makeup in the world: those who thoroughly every Sunday wash brush. And those who do not ....

And look, we have the process takes time. (Many of our beauty editors admit to solve it - it). But here's the thing: Every time the make - up - brushes, "spread the dirt and bacteria and particles, including viral from your face to your make - up, then her face back, and [that] accumulate dead skin cells, dirt, oil and bacteria on the brush, "dermatologist Dr. Fran E. cook-Bolden, MD, Refinery29 said.

Once these levels of bacteria, brushes makeup too dirty can cause skin irritation highly and even infection if used eruptions damaged skin (a blown grain scratch, etc.). To avoid this, Koch Bolden recommends at least once to wash a week, and more if possible. "Synchronize [test] with another weeks activity, so that it becomes a habit," he said. It is also important to know where and how to store them. "If someone took a wet brush and threw it in a drawer, ideal for microbial agents [grow], because it is dark and warm," says Wilson Ni'Kita, chemical and cosmetic CEO Skinects .

But the kick-in-the-pants on for us? An unhealthy, exercise is based on fear. Therefore, we decided to send our brushes to a lab to see how they were very dirty. We calculate five publishers the same build back background brush at five different locations to regularly use: the bathroom, bedroom, subways and many more. After two weeks, we will send them to the laboratory Microchem® test for aerobic bacteria, yeasts, molds, coliforms (bacteria with the presence associated Kot, sorry) and Staphylococcus aureus.

It is important to remember that most brushes have normal levels of bacteria in them - just like our body and everything we touch. It is, if these values ​​are too high, it is a problem, that is exactly what happened a few of our editors. Check to get the results, and prepare your own brushes.
