Makeup enthusiasts should be aware of infection risks in their makeup bag due to dirty brushes harboring bacteria and fungus. A recent study showed that 96% of tested makeup brushes had fungal growth. It’s recommended to clean brushes every one to two weeks to prevent infections. Neglecting hygiene can lead to breakouts and skin irritation. Dr. Gareth Nye advises against sharing makeup and using shop testers to maintain good hygiene. Regular cleaning can help prevent harmful bacteria buildup and protect skin health.
