▲ A 22-year-old woman shared a make-up brush and caused ringworm on her face. Research: Make-up brushes are worse than toilet seats.
Cosmetics should not be shared with others, and more attention should be paid to cleanliness. A 22-year-old woman suffered from ringworm on her face following sharing a makeup brush and sponge with a friend, which was nearly disfigured. Some studies have pointed out that if the used makeup brush has not been cleaned for 2 weeks, no matter how it is stored, the bacteria count will be higher than that of the toilet, which will affect the skin.

According to comprehensive foreign media reports, Louaira Dela Cruz, a 22-year-old British woman, uploaded a video on TikTok a few days ago, saying that her face was inflamed, including a red circular rash around her mouth and chin, which seriously affected her appearance. She pointed out that she had sought medical treatment but the doctor said that she might not diagnose the disease. Louaira’s video aroused discussion, and some netizens judged that the rash on her face was actually ringworm.
Two days later, Louaira uploaded the video once more. In the clip, it can be seen that the rash has spread to her forehead and cheeks; she also revealed that she has indeed been diagnosed with ringworm and is receiving treatment. As for the cause of the disease, Louaira said frankly that it may be because she is used to sharing makeup brushes and makeup sponges with friends, which leads to bacterial infections on the skin.
Not washing makeup for 2 weeks may cause pustules
Not only do not share cosmetics with others, but also pay more attention to cleaning on weekdays. Recently, a research and investigation by a cosmetics company in the United States found that if the used cosmetic brushes have not been cleaned for 2 weeks, no matter in any form of storage, even in relatively sealed drawers or cosmetic bags, the bacteria content will not be lower than toilet seat. And all unclean makeup brushes contain E. coli, yeast, and mold that can cause fungal infections, as well as dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria, which may be transferred to the skin when the makeup brush is used once more. Carly Musleh, the scientist in charge of the study, said:
Using a dirty makeup brush can lead to an increase in the number of pathogenic bacteria that can lead to acne or more serious problems like impetigo or staph infections.
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that makeup brushes should be cleaned at least every 7 to 10 days, using a special cleanser for makeup products, or diluted shampoo with warm water for cleaning. After washing, it should be printed dry with a towel, and then placed in a dry place to dry. In addition, when cleaning the makeup brush, the metal part should not be immersed in water, otherwise it will damage the makeup brush; and make sure that the center and bottom of the bristles are clean enough, otherwise it may become a space for bacteria to gather. The cleaned makeup brush should be kept in a sealed container to avoid contamination by debris, bacteria or dust in the air.
