This information is definitely concerning and highlights the importance of being aware of potential bacteria exposure at the cosmetic counter. It's alarming to think that we may be unknowingly exposing ourselves to harmful bacteria while trying to enhance our appearance. It's important for cosmetic companies to take precautions and regularly sanitize their products and counters to ensure the safety of their customers. As consumers, we should also be mindful and take steps to protect ourselves, such as not sharing makeup with others and regularly cleaning our makeup brushes and tools.
