Do you think Disease spreads through make up

Disease spreads through make up in more ways than one

There are a few ways in which Disease spreads through make up and today we are going to warn you of them.

Storing makeup at the right temperature- Cosmetics normally contain preservatives that help prevent bacteria from growing, but if you store makeup incorrectly it can mean germs will be able to grow. This is why it is important to keep makeup at room temperature; storing them in a hot place or in direct sunlight will make it much easier for bacteria to thrive. Anything above 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29 degrees Celsius) becomes dangerous for makeup storage.

Don’t share your make up- swapping cosmetics can mean trading germs. Makeup brushes and applicators can easily carry bacteria from one person to another and moist dark containers allow these germs to thrive. You especially should never share lip and eye products, as these areas are easily infected.
