Brief Summary:
In addition to collecting product residues, dirt and oil, makeup products can damage the skin and cause infection as they are a breeding ground for bacteria. Studies investigating the microbiological contamination of makeup applicators have shown that makeup sponges and brushes are a means of transmitting pathogens. Other studies have determined that positive isolates are detected in almost every device taken from makeup tools. In order to draw attention to the source of infection that is not widely known by the public and to instill correct hygiene habits, this study aims to detect pathogenic bacteria in makeup tools used by university students and to evaluate the effectiveness of the hygiene training provided.
Detailed Description:
Makeup does a good job of improving the appearance of women. However, many women do not know that makeup can be a health hazard because it contains bacteria and can spread infection. In addition to collecting product residue, dirt, and oil, makeup products can damage the skin and cause infection because they are a breeding ground for bacteria. Cosmetic contamination leads to various types of infections, ranging from mild to serious.
Studies investigating the microbiological contamination of used makeup applicators have shown that makeup sponges and brushes are a vehicle for pathogen transmission. Other studies have determined that Staphylococcus aureus grows as the dominant bacteria in makeup tools and that positive isolates are detected in almost every device taken. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends washing your makeup brushes every 7 to 10 days to protect your skin and kill any harmful bacteria left on your makeup brushes.
Infectious diseases are still a major public health problem, especially in developing countries. Therefore, it is important for people to adopt proper hygiene habits, especially hand washing, to prevent infection. In order to draw attention to a source of infection that is not widely known by the public and to instill correct hygiene habits, this study aims to detect pathogenic bacteria in make-up tools used by university students and to evaluate the effectiveness of the hygiene education provided.
