Should you swap or buy second hand make up
We are going to be looking at Should you swap or buy second hand make up
Are you a bit dubious, as to whether you Should you swap or buy second hand make up
Should you swap or buy second hand make up the simple answer is NO we are going to explaining why you shouldn’t be tempted to buy or use second hand make up.
When ever you buy make up in a shop it is always very clear that you can not return the item this is due to health and safety reasons, so this is mind why would it be ok to swap or buy used make up from a another person.
Now what if its a friend you may think well you know them so every thing is cool right??? Erm not necessarily and here’s why!
Firstly all make up and cosmetic products, have a sell by date but most people don’t remember when they bought their lipsticks or eyeliner ect, if you are anything like us we have lots of different brands and colours and really don’t make a note in our diary when we bought them may be we should. So even if its only been used once it will have been exposed to the the air and bacteria would have got in combine that with it may being out of date. You already have a problem .
Now lets look at what you could contract from using second hand make up:
Powder-based products - loose and pressed powder products so think along the lines of blushes, compacts and finishing powders these are all are low risk i because they’re dry, which makes it hard for bacteria to multiply and spread ( bacteria prefers warm, moist environments). These products also usually applied to the cheeks and forehead, not infection-prone spots. Some of the conditions you may get from powdered products are impetigo, Cold sores, to name a couple.
But that doesn’t mean you are entirely off the hook. Because oils (and bacteria!) from your face, or your fellow swapper’s face, are easily transferred to powder products, especially if you use one brush for multiple products, or are guilty of double dipping so bacteria may be present and the risk increases if you add water, such as with an eyeshadow or cake eyeliner, and apply near more sensitive areas, like your waterline.
Mascara & Eyeliner - using a used oil-based and water-based eye products rank as the most dangerous, when it comes to eye infections, if you think that if you have an eye infection and continue to use mascara or eyeliner you are more likely to keep getting the infection this is because you have spread the bacteria to that product so it should really be thrown away to prevent that happening. I f you borrow or buy a secondhand one you don’t know if they have had any eye infections so the risk is much higher. The most common infection to contract is Conjunctivitis,as well as blepharitis, the inflammation of our very sensitive eyelid but thats not the worst that can happen! Because if even the smallest particle of infected makeup gets lodged inside your eye next the cornea, it can have a disastrous effect meaning that you could go blind. It’s rare, but it happens.
Lipstick/Glosses and liners - now we all no we shouldn’t do this but many of us have on a night out you may think twice next time.lip products get a red flag thanks to herpes labialis, the infection caused by herpes simplex virus, which can live on oil-based products like lipsticks, chapsticks and gloss and get further smudged into the product every time you reapply. So the next time your lip sprouts small, painful cold sore blisters, you may want to retrace your cosmetic steps
Its all bit scarey what could happen Should you swap or buy second hand make up so we recommend you don’t do it
