Eyes are the central part of our outlook beauty and the main part of eye’s attraction are eye lashes.

Always use a unique and patented brush of mascara that make your lashes separated and give ultimate luster and texture of real hair. Fresh looking glistening eyes, soft eyelids adorned with luscious long eye lashes give an expert combination of mild sensuality and ultimate seduction.

Eye Cosmetic protection

Share
Avoid using eye cosmetics if you have an eye infection or the skin around the eye is reddened. Wait until the area is cured. Discard any eye cosmetics you were using when you got the virus.
Eye cosmetics are intended to make eyes more beautiful, or in some cases to cleanse the eye area. One thing they shouldn't do is cause injury. Most are safe when used the eye cosmetics correctly. However, there are some things to be careful about when using these eye cosmetics, such as the risk of infection, the risk of injury from the applicator, and the use of unapproved color additives.
Eye cosmetics are usually safe when you buy them, but mistreating them can allow dangerous bacteria or fungi to grow in them. Then, when applied to the eye area, a cosmetic can cause an illness. In rare cases, women have been for the time being or permanently blinded by an infection from an eye cosmetic.
Don't share or exchange eye cosmetics -- not even with your best friend. Another person's germs may be harmful to you. The risk of contamination may be even greater with "testers" at retail stores, where a number of people are using the same mock-up product. If you feel you must sample cosmetics at a retail shop, make sure they are applied with single-use applicators, such as clean cotton swabs.

Use eye cosmetic with care

Share

Since time immemorial, women have used cosmetic to beautify their appearance. However, sometimes makeup products cause allergic reaction, infection or injury to skin especially to the eye or eyelids. Follow these tips while using eye cosmetic.
People who use contact lens or have sensitive skins are more likely to confront problems related to eye cosmetics. Serious injuries related to eye cosmetics involve injuries related to cornea. When you apply mascara or eyeliner and feel irritated while scratching the cornea it can become infected leading to corneal ulcer. There are chemicals also in cosmetics which causes bacteria.
Although preservation in makeup products helps against infection but sometimes they irritate the eye and skin. Ingredients like Rosin, Nickel and Lanolin cause tearing, itching and redness of the eyes, or swelling and peeling of the eyelids. Use eye cosmetics like water proof mascara which does not cause much allergy.
It is always better to apply eyeliner outside the eyelashes to avoid the direct contact of the eye cosmetic with the eye. Keep your eyeliner pencils sharp for a perfect lining. Replace eye cosmetic with every six months and never use an old one. After any eye injection, buy new makeup products.
This tip suggests that eye makeup removers also irritate the eye, so apply them carefully to the eyelid and avoid getting them in your eye. Do not use makeup products while driving. Similarly, do not use a safety pin to tease apart clumped eyelashes. If using an eyelash curler, make sure that rubber is soft and avoid sharing your cosmetics as it causes skin bacteria.
Contact your eye doctor if you have a cosmetic related eye problem. If you have hurt your eye while using cosmetics, then take proper medical attention. Take the applicator and cosmetic, so that they can undergo for a bacteria test.
Similarly, those people who are using contact lens may confront diseases related to corneal abrasions or corneal ulcers. The cosmetics also contain oils, residues and possible bacteria which can damage your eye.  Always put lens before applying makeup products and wash your hands. Apply eye cosmetics less heavily close to the eyes. Use fresh makeup every three to four months.
Always use fresh eye cosmetics with care as they enhance the beauty of your eyes. Follow the guidelines of your doctor in this regard.

How To Avoid Puffiness Tomorrow???

Share
You can avoid puffiness by following some simple steps as under:
 
Raise the head of the bed. Six-inch wooden blocks placed under the headboard will elevate your head and help keep fluid from pooling around your eyes.
Skip the water at bedtime. Or restrict yourself to a few sips.
Cut out overly salty foods. A high intake of sodium may be causing you to retain more fluid, in which case reducing the salt in your diet may produce good results (not only for your eyes, but also for your health in general).

Skip wrinkle removers. An eye cream designed for plumping up wrinkles may be doing its job too well. These products can backfire and give you bags by puffing up the surrounding eye area.
Switch to gel-type makeup. Water-based makeup and gels are lighter than oil-based and less likely to irritate delicate under-eye skin.
Snack on bananas and raisins, both of which alleviate fluid retention.
Take a diuretic:Consume cabbage or cranberry juice. Both are diuretics, which will help you "evacuate" some excess fluid. Don't turn to caffeine as your diuretic of choice, as it can interfere with sleep and bring back the puffiness.
Exercise:Exercise to improve circulation, which will help your body move fluid through your body, rather than letting it accumulate.
Forgo the feather comforter. If you suspect that you are allergic to feathers?waking up every morning with puffy eyes is a clue?try switching to quilts and pillows filled with synthetic material.
Determine if you have any of the conditions associated with puffy eyes
  Sometimes the swelling is a side effect of another condition, which is temporary, or must be treated individually.

  • pregnancy - commonly associated with fluid retention
  • hormonal variation in the menstrual cycle - commonly associated with fluid retention
  • dermatitis - sensitive skin is more likely to swell in response to irritants
  • allergies - can cause leaks in the subcutaneous capillary beds around the eyes.
  • mononucleosis - puffy eyes may be an early symptom of infection
  • medication - puffiness or water retention could be a side effect
  • more serious medical conditions - 
       Warnings
  • If the swelling is extreme and/or persistent, it may be a symptom of a serious illness, such as a blood clot, thyroid disease, or renal failure. Check with a doctor to investigate if the puffiness won't go away.
  • Be careful about what type of tea you use. If you have allergies, an herbal tea like chamomile might swell your eyes.
  • Do not apply ice or extremely cold water directly to the skin around the eyes for more than a couple of seconds.
  • Exercise caution when using a new cosmetic product or trying a home remedy. If the condition worsens, or if you exhibit other symptoms, discontinue use immediately and contact your primary care physician or dermatologist for severe or persisting symptoms.
If the puffy eyes does not reduce with any of the home remedies, then it would be hereditary. Blepharoplasty can fix the problem.


 


PUFFY EYES !!! What Your Symptoms Are Telling You?

Share
Generally, you can trace early-morning puffiness to your activities of the previous day: You drank fluids at bedtime, ate salty foods, spent all day with your head bent over a garden or stayed up half the night.The worst of the swelling subsides a few hours after rising as the fluid is re-absorbed by your body.


You may also have puffy eyes as part of an allergic reaction?from eating strawberries, for example, or from sleeping on feather pillows. Hormonal changes during menstruation can puff up eyes, too.


A more permanent kind of puffiness can occur from saggy skin caused by normal aging, according to Paul Lazar, M.D., professor of clinical dermatology at Northwestern University in Chicago and author of The Look You Like. The skin around the eyes becomes thinner and less elastic with age, he says. Then underlying fat causes the skin to bulge out.
Roundish pouches or bags rather than puffiness may be a sign of a thyroid condition known as Graves' disease or an indication of a kidney problem.

How To Deflate puffiness under Eyes?

  PUFFY EYE  ( Symptom Relief)
You may be tempted to don sunglasses first thing in the morning as a cover-up, but take heart, there are ways to deflate puffiness.
Start with a bracing splash. A splash of cold water on your face gets the circulation moving.
Tap into relief. Lightly tapping your upper and lower lids helps nudge fluids away from eyes very light touch, and using fingertips only, gently tap puffy areas on upper and lower lids.
Metal teaspoon:For a less messy alternative, try putting 2 metal tablespoons in the fridge and use them daily by placing the backs against your eyes.
Try tea bags. Moisten two tea bags with cold water and rest with them on your closed eyes for 15 minutes. The tannin in the tea may help pull the skin taut and reduce the puffiness. "The main factor is the coolness, which reduces swelling,"
Take a diuretic. If you're retaining water before your period, may help reduce eye puffiness.
Try an antihistamine. If your puffy eyes are also red, itchy and scratchy, you may be having an allergic reaction. If that's the case, an antihistamine may help shrink the swelling.
