Solutions for Make-up Wearers with Dry Eye

Many wearers of cosmetic make-up report experiencing discomfort or irritation in their eyes. This discomfort can at times be exacerbated by sleep-deprivation, long computer usage, drinking, and smoking, and also by the increased allergens in the springtime.

Solution #1: Formulated Eye Drops
There are many solutions to this problem. The first solution is to apply eye drops formulated for treating dry eyes. According to dry eye experts, the best technique is to apply these drops when not wearing make-up. If there is make-up on the eyelid when drops are applied, this may cause additional irritation as the make-up and eye drops are mixed together and flow back into the eyes.

Solution #2: Eyelid Cleansing Wipes
Even after you clean the make-up off of your eyelids there may still be remaining make-up residue. For example, try the lid scrubs produced by OCuSOFT, the #1 doctor recommended brand.

Solution #3: Healthy Make-up Habits
These make-up strategies come from dry eye experts and are applicable to all make-up wearers, even those without dry eye:

• don't share make up
• throw make-up out after 3 months
• clean face before applying make-up
• remove make-up before going to sleep
• avoid glitter or powder (they worsen irritation to the eyes)
