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.
