Removing your eye makeup safely....
To remove eye makeup safely,
look for water-based products
that also contain moisturizers. Makeup removers that have soap or alcohol can irritate the eyes. Products that have fragrances can also cause discomfort in the eye area. If you wear contact lenses, choose a remover that does not contain oil to prevent the lenses from dirtying. Remember that irritation not only occurs in the eye, but also on the skin that surrounds the eye. This area has the thinnest and some of the most delicate skin on our bodies, so stick with something simple. Be cautious when selecting gel and lotion removers as they may tend to dry the skin. Use a cotton ball or a soft tissue to gently apply the remover. Rubbing hard might irritate the eye area and can contribute to premature aging of the skin. Moisture pads are also effective as long as they do not have any irritating contents. Again, be sure to check the ingredients on all products before you use them! |
