MANY of us will have a mottled, brown beauty blender sitting on the bottom of our makeup case, or a blush brush that’s gone a while without a wash.
Despite health experts warning that unwashed beauty tools can become breeding grounds for bacteria, we still apply them to our skin.
In many cases, these grimy tools can lead to skin irritation, breakouts and other skin conditions.
You probably know this on an unconscious level, but new pictures capturing the grime and grease on your makeup tools will never allow you to push that thought down again.
