Keep Your Eyes Safe: Essential Makeup Tips to Prevent Irritation and Infections
Beauty enthusiasts, take note: understanding makeup labels and proper usage can prevent eye irritation and infections. Here are essential tips to keep your eyes safe while enjoying your makeup routine.
Firstly, scrutinise makeup labels. Avoid products containing potentially harmful ingredients such as talc, BHA, urea, sulfates, and phthalates. Secondly, be wary of glitter in your makeup. It can flake off and cause eye irritation or even infection.
Always remove makeup from your eyes if it gets in. Rinse thoroughly with clean water or an eye-wash solution. Apply moisturising eye drops and, if you wear contact lenses, remove them. To prevent bacterial or fungal contamination, discard eye makeup after three months.
Those with sensitive eyes should opt for hypoallergenic cosmetics. When using eyelash curlers, ensure your lashes are clean and dry, and the curler is soft, not stiff or cracking. Applying makeup inside the lash line can block oil glands and introduce bacteria into the eye. Similarly, harmful bacteria and fungus can lurk within eye makeup pencils and wands. Lastly, avoid applying mascara while driving or riding in a car to prevent potential corneal abrasions.
If eye problems persist after rinsing out makeup, consult an ophthalmologist.
By following these guidelines, you can enjoy your makeup while keeping your eyes safe and healthy. Always remember, a little caution goes a long way in protecting your eyes.
