Many times wrong eye makeup habits are responsible for these symptoms. Which even women themselves do not realize. In such a situation, let us tell you today how women are ignoring their eyes in the pursuit of beauty and what are the tips for safe makeup.
Common problems related to eye makeup
Stye
Red and painful pimples near the eyelashes usually occur when the face or eyes are not cleaned properly and makeup residue gets accumulated in the skin pores.
Conjunctivitis
Bacteria or viruses reach the eyes through old or bad makeup, due to which conjunctivitis infection starts spreading.
Dry eye syndrome
Eyeliner or mascara particles block the tear glands of the eyes. Due to which the moisture in your eyes decreases and you start feeling dry.
Allergy or reaction
Some chemicals present in eye pencils, glitter liners or false lashes can cause allergies. This can cause itching, burning or swelling in the eyes.
Rupture of eyelashes
Frequent use of lash curlers or hot tools weakens the eyelashes. Curling after applying mascara further increases the risk of eyelash breakage.
Why do the risks associated with eye makeup increase?
According to experts, when you apply makeup very close to the water line or lash line, it directly affects the protective layer of the eyes i.e. the tear film. This layer protects the eyes from external infections. Apart from this, waterproof makeup does not come off easily, due to which the eyes have to be rubbed repeatedly to clean them. This can cause irritation in the eyes and damage the lash follicles.
Follow these important tips for safe eye makeup.
To do safe eye makeup, never apply makeup on the waterline or in the inner corner. Apart from this, keep changing the eye products every 3 months whether they have expired or not. Always use oil based or water based remover to remove makeup. Apart from this, keep cleaning the makeup brush and applicator thoroughly every week. Also, do not share eye makeup with anyone, no matter how close they are, this can spread infection. Apart from this, avoid tightlining as this can cause pigment and bacteria to accumulate in the glands.
