1. A sanitization system and neck brush containing powder comprising: a neck brush with a brush handle, a bristle face and a plurality of bristles extending outward from said bristle face; the brush handle defining an interior chamber having a chamber wall with skin powder therein, said powder adapted to be applied to a neck of a salon patron during a hair styling operation; the brush handle having a powder loading port therein to access said interior chamber such that said skin powder can be delivered into said chamber; a portion of said chamber wall being flexible; a movable actuator disposed in said handle having an operator surface and an actuator end on said flexible chamber wall; said bristle face defining a powder exit port, said exit port adjoining an exit passage extending from said bristle face to said chamber such that upon actuation of said operator surface and resultant movement of said flexible chamber wall, said chamber compresses resulting in the ejection of skin powder from said chamber through said exit passage and said exit port into said plurality of bristles extending outward from said bristle face; a brush stand to support said neck brush about said brush handle; a sensory means to determine when said neck brush is disposed on said brush stand; an ultraviolet sanitizing lamp directed at said plurality of bristles and any retained powder captured by said plurality of bristles; and a timer electrically coupled between a power source and said lamp, said timer triggered ON by said sensory means and supplying power to said lamp for a predetermined period of time, and thereafter disconnecting said power from said lamp.
