Hi Mel, yes this is very important, people would not think that yes you must wash or dispose of make up brushes and pads as with each swipe it puts bacteria on the skin and this causes breakouts. futher a major no no is sharing of these items also hair brushes too due to cross contamination. apart from the applicators even the cosmetics was suggested you dispose of them after a few months as it can fester bacteria.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you on sharing things at this day and age because of unknown or new bacteria can cause a negative result to someone's skin.
