How to Soothe Itchy Eyes Affected by Make Up

It’s a horrible catch-22 to face; a spiral of events that simply twist deeper and deeper causing increasingly uncomfortable, itchy and red eyes. Products designed to make you look and feel your best, only serving to further your insecurities. When that little pick-me-up is needed the most, a devastating denial is administered. There are millions of women who suffer negative reactions from the cosmetics the beauty magazines swear by. These so-called beautifiers can have devastating effect upon your skin and especially on your eyes.

All products face years and years of testing before they are allowed to be released onto the market. Unfortunately everybody’s skin is unique and reacts in different ways when exposed to a variety of cosmetics and treatments.

Lengthening mascara is designed to add body and volume to eyelashes. A widely desirable look, lengthening mascara is popular all over the world. However, it can have very negative effects on the eyes. The fibres that make up the mascara have a tendency to dry and flake off into the eyes. This can cause a great level of itching and redness. To alleviate this problem use Eye Drops in order to clear the foreign body. Alternatively, use mascara that is designed for contact lens wearers. These products are made to flake less. If some flaking does occur, use Contact Lens Eye Drops to soothe the eye.

It is important to ensure that all cosmetics applied are within their recommended shelf life. Cosmetics that are out of date start to grow tiny bacteria which can infect your skin and eyes. If a brand that you regularly use starts to incur negative effects, throw the offender away. Wash the cosmetic off the infected area and the hands and then proceed to use Dry Eye Drops to wash any of the cosmetic from your eye.

It is important to use only brands that have been tested on skin on a similarly sensitivity level to your own. Cosmetics are not only there to make you look your best but also to care for your skins and eyes.
