Don't let eye makeup dry you out


Rx for Brown Skin for African American skin care

 


If you don't remove your African American skin care product every night, you may find yourself experiencing breakouts or clogged pores. While breakouts or allergic reactions are traditionally the only hazards associated with makeup, health and beauty expert Sharon Kleyne recently released a statement explaining how your eye makeup may be responsible for dry eye symptoms.


"Many people who wear cosmetic eye makeup such as mascara and eyeliner could eventually find that these applications make their eyes feel tired and uncomfortable, especially in situations stressful to eyes such as staying up late, spending long hours at a computer, or drinking and smoking," said Kleyne in a statement.


The expert made some recommendations for how to keep your makeup from exacerbating eye problems. First, Kleyene suggested throwing most eye makeup out after three months, since it may have harmful bacteria in it by then. Also, never share eyeshadow or liner, and always wash your face before applying makeup.


Finally, Kleyene said that If you tend to have dry eyes or wear contact lenses, avoid glitter and powder eye makeup, since these may cause irritation.
