Eye Care: Could Your Make-up Be Contributing To Your Dry Eyes?

 

Thirty percent of the population is affected by a condition known as dry eyes. Typically, the sufferer of dry eyes is middle aged and of the female gender. The reason that this happens at this time in your life is because the near vision begins to deteriorate because of the normal process of aging. Even though this condition can be remedied easy with reading glasses, it isn't easy to remove or apply make-up when you are wearing a pair of reading glasses. Eye care takes on extra importance when you wear make up on a regular basis.

Chances are you have probably seen eye-makeup that appears as if it was intended for show make-up at the theatre. When and if the make-up is applied in the wrong place or too thickly, some problems could arise. Even though the oils within your eyes and skin are cousins, they aren't compatible.

In the event that you apply eyeliner to the margin of the eyelid, the eyeliner can act as a bridge which allows all of the oils from the skin to contaminate the eyes tear oil. Any mascara that is able to make its way down to the lashes base may also create a contamination bridge.

Once the skins oils get into the eyes tears, this will cause a normal tear function disruption which will cause the tears too quickly break down which will result in dryness symptoms. There are also problems that can occur with faulty removal of eye make-up. There are some people that don't even remove any of their make-up because they feel as if it will just wear off with a little help from a regular rinse with tap water.

There are others that use Vaseline, make-up removers or baby oil that have a really thick base that is oily. However, this doesn't mix very well with all of the natural oils within the tear film. For complete and easy removal, don't use the make-up of the waterproof type because it is very hard to remove without having to resort to the industrial strength remover.

When make-up is applied lightly, it can be removed easy by using a gentle form of soap like hypoallergenic cleanser or baby shampoo like Novatis Lid Care. All you have to do is shampoo the eye lids simply with your finger tips. You should make sure that you do this both morning and night for proper eye care.

When heavier make-up may be used, after you have used a commercial remover for the make-up, you need to be sure that you shampoo the lids so that you can remove any residue that the cleaner may have left behind. There are some that have an aversion with getting soap within their eyes, however if baby shampoo is being used, this shouldn't really be a problem.

Even though it may seem as an innocent party of your daily eye care routine, removal and faulty application of eye make-up can be a main contributor to the symptoms of dry eyes that are burning and gritty.
