Eye Diseases Specialist Opr. Dr. Şermin Ünal İpçioğlu stated that applying eye make-up correctly is important for eye health.
Wrong and unconscious use of cosmetics and sleeping without removing make-up sufficiently are one of the biggest enemies of eye health. When necessary attention is not paid to eye make-up and care; There may be many dangers such as allergies, eye infections, and irritation-related skin diseases. Opr. Dr. Şermin Ünal İpçioğlu gave information about "The negative effects of unconscious eye makeup on eye health."
MAKEUP MATERIALS SHOULD BE PERSONAL
He said that it is important not to share makeup materials with others İpçioğlu said, “The material you give to a person with an eye infection may become a source of infection for you. Your eye may get infected. Make-up materials such as trial make-up products found in common areas can also threaten your eye health. Make-up should also be used within a certain period of time after opening. Although this period is generally accepted as 3 or 4 months, it may vary depending on the characteristics of the make-up material. Expired material should be thrown away even if it is not finished. "It has been proven that bacteria grow in almost all make-up materials used beyond their intended duration," he said. Emphasizing that it may cause eye allergies in people with sensitive skin, Opr. Dr. Şermin Ünal İpçioğlu: “If you have an allergy and have bought more than one cosmetic product at once, try it preferably in order and continue to use the products that you are sure do not cause allergies. When using eyeliner or eyeliner to highlight the eyelash roots, that is, the eye boundaries, be careful to apply it to the outer part of the eyelashes, not the inner part, which is close to the eye. Because there are Meibomean oil glands that contribute to tears on the inner edge of the eyelashes close to the eye. If these glands are blocked while applying make-up, the tears become poor quality and may cause eye discomfort such as stinging, burning, and redness. Infections such as styes may even develop on the eyelid. Mascara, pencil, eye shadow When applying eye make-up products, the application direction should be outwards (away from) the eye. Thus, the possibility of tools such as brushes and pens that you use to apply the products sinking into the transparent layer (cornea) is reduced.
Opr. Dr. Şermin Ünal İpçioğlu said, "If a product stings your eyes while doing make-up, wash it first with plenty of water, and if eye discomfort persists, consult your Ophthalmologist."
