Medical Video: I Bought A FAKE James Charles Palette
Usually, before buying a particular makeup product, you must try the available makeup tester, to find out if the color is suitable for your skin, or just try comfort when using the product. Starting from lipstick, eye shadow, powder, up to blush on, maybe you will try it. I was so enthusiastic when I tried all the product testers that you forgot that actually the tester had been tried by many people, not just you. Maybe you're the umpteenth person on that day or even a month later. You could say you shared makeup products together. So, do you know that this can affect your health?
Apparently, the makeup tester you use is full of bacteria
In fact, there are one in five (1: 5) makeup tester products that contain parasites, fungi, and bacteria in them that can make you infectious. Yes, this finding was obtained from research conducted by the Microbiology Department of NYU Langone Medical Center in the United States (US).
Another study conducted by Rowan University in the US revealed that in makeup tester products there are various types of bacteria that endanger health, such as Escheria coli and various types of bacteria Strapylococcus, which is usually able to cause digestive infections.
Maybe you are wondering how mushrooms or bacteria can arrive at existing makeup product testers. So this way, the transfer of bacteria can occur when people do not keep it clean, for example from the bathroom and do not wash their hands.
It could be on the surface of his hand Escheria coli, because they don't wash their hands, then when their hands touch the surface of the makeup tester product, the bacteria will immediately move quickly. The bacteria will continue on the product until it moves to your hands or parts of your face when you try a makeup tester product.
What is the impact of using a makeup tester?
Of the many makeup testers you have tried, almost all of them can cause you to get an infection. Most infections will affect the health of your skin. The following are risks that can arise when you often use makeup tester:
- Acne, this is the most frequent impact. zits can arise due to bacterial skin infections.
- Blushing, bacterial infection of the skin can cause facial redness.
- Impetigo, a bacterial skin infection that causes symptoms such as redness.
- Eye infections, if bacteria are inside eye shadow you tried.
- Flu, the transmission of this virus occurs when you use a lipstick tester that was previously used by people infected with the flu.
How do you avoid germs when trying a makeup tester?
The Food and Drug Administration in the US (equivalent to the POM Agency in Indonesia), reveals that the risk of transmission of the disease is even greater when more people try the makeup tester.
However, indeed sometimes before buying a product, you are sure to wonder whether the product fits on your face or not. So, if you still want to try a makeup tester product, then there are some things that can prevent the transmission of germs that might be present in the product, namely:
- Rub the tissue that has been moistened with alcohol on the surface of the makeup you are trying to try.
- Do not use a joint makeup applicator (for example a brush or powder sponge). Choose a makeup tester that uses an applicator like cotton bud which is usually a waste.
The FDA states that makeup products for the eyes, lips and nose are the products most susceptible to infection. So you should avoid using these products.
