Does your dropper touch your skin?

This experiment by All About Skin Studio caught my attention this morning. One of the spot treatment I use has a dropper and sometimes it touches my fingertips. So after seeing this, to the bin it went! Who here are guilty of this?

Hi! Iโ€™m a Bacteriology scientist and I incubate, read plates and identify microorganisms for a living. These bacteria and fungal colonies can be our normal skin flora and these doesnโ€™t automatically denote that it is the bacteria that causes acne. P. acnes bacteria grows on anaerobic condition and this obviously is not an anaerobic plate hence this was not incubated anaerobically as well. Brain Heart Infusion plate grows literally everything so I think this is not really that accurate. Although to be honest, I never touch the dropper on my face nor hands, because I think the dropper exists to dispense it directly to your hands, not your face. ๐Ÿ˜… Just sayinโ€™

Thanks for the input! I love hearing scientists' opinions on this kind of posts. Because to me as someone with no biochemical knowledge it would look scary as hell from a first glance ๐Ÿ˜„ (I usually drop right on my skin but maybe will change this after all now)

I don't let the dropper touch my skin usually. Its generally known its not that hygenic if it touched your face so I drop some on my hands.

Thats why i use my hands when I apply my serums. I think the beauty gurus in ig are ones who touch their dropper on their skin
