Makeup can be a fun part of your daily routine, but if you’re not careful, it can also lead to unwanted eye infections. Protecting your eyes starts with choosing the right products and keeping things clean.
Always stick to cosmetics made specifically for use around the eyes and avoid anything with harsh or untested ingredients. Before you apply, make sure your face and eyelids are freshly cleaned, and remember to keep makeup outside the lash line to avoid blocking the tiny oil glands that protect your eyes.
If you love trying new looks, don’t forget to replace your eye makeup every three months. Bacteria can easily grow in creamy or liquid products, even if they still look fine. And while sharing might seem harmless, never use someone else’s eye makeup or store samples that have been touched by multiple users, it’s simply not worth the risk.
