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.
