It pays to take some extra care when removing makeup from around your
eyes. Some tips for safe, effective and gentle eye makeup remover to consider
include:
- Vaseline
is a very effective makeup remover. It's lubricating, soothing to skin and
helps makeup slide off without unnecessary tugging and pulling.
- Baby
shampoo is an inexpensive and ophthalmologist-recommended product for
washing eyelids and the area around the eyes. These 'tear-free' soaps are
often recommended to people prone to styles, chalazia and blepharitis for washing their eyes.
- Whatever
eye makeup remover you use, avoid getting it in your eyes.
- Thoroughly
rinse any remover off your eyelids.
- Brush a
clean cotton swab along the base of the eyelashes to remove all makeup
remnants.
- Be
especially careful with exfoliating scrubs and don't use them around your
eyes. Cleansers with scrubbing beads or gritty additions
can scratch and irritate your eyes.
