Sure you wear makeup everyday, but did you know you could potentially be damaging your eyes? Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler, an internationally-renowned eye surgeon and a pioneer of Keratoconus treatments, LASIK, and other advanced surgical techniques shares a few safety tips you should know before wearing your next favorite eyeshadow.
“Choose eyeliners that wash off easily to prevent blepharitis,” says Wachler. Blepharitis is an abnormality that causes the eyelids to become inflamed (swollen), and bacteria coating the eyelids.
“Never sleep in makeup,” says Wachler. Removing makeup gives your skin a chance to breathe and refresh for the next day.
“Wash your hands and face before and after use,” says Wachler. Hands and fingertips are a breeding ground for bacteria. Always wash them before applying makeup.
