With the surprising development across the cosmetic and personal
care companies the re-utilization of cosmetic tools is of a common
practice. Isolation and detection of human skin pathogens from 100
samples of beauty salon tools i.e., blusher brush, face sponge and
wax has been done. All the samples were examined microbiologically
for the contamination of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, yeast and fungus. It was observed that the percentage
of Staphylococcus aureus was higher (100% in sponge, 100% in brush,
88% in wax) in the tools than Pseudomonas aeruginosa (69.6% in
sponge, 81.8% in brush and 73.5% in wax), where counts obtained for
fungus was 51.5% in sponge, 30.3% in brush and 20.5% in wax. It was
observed that the major cause of contamination of saloon tools is
repetitive usage on all costumers without considering the hygienic
conditions.
