Don’t judge: You might have been, too
Photo: drewhadley/Getty Images I have recently discovered that I’m disgusting. Don’t judge: You might be too. In fact, British scientists recently discovered that all of us — and all of our beauty products — are filthy, scuzzy creatures.
Between 79 to 90 percent of the items tested were found to have significant “bacteria loads.” Enterobacteriaceae are a wide-ranging bacteria family, like the Kardashians of microbes, and they were present in every single germy item. Among them were e. coli, salmonella, and some other, lesser-known bacteria called klebsiella, shigella, and yersinia pestis. Yikes.
I was afraid that we would discover something like this. Although I’m not a full-level germaphobe like Larry David, a fair number of things gross me out. But it turns out that I’ve spent so much time worrying about poopy phones and subway jean parasites that I completely overlooked the layer of bacteria I’ve been blending into my pores every single day. My germy beauty brushes have probably been laughing as they watched me double-cleanse my face every night.
