Follow these tips so that the eye makeup equipment does not trigger irritation

Eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara can make the eyes look more beautiful. However, you need to be careful because this makeup equipment can harm your eyesight if its use is not in accordance with the correct procedures. Actually, cosmetic equipment is safe for the eyes as long as it is used properly. However, over time the fungus and bacteria can grow on your cosmetic equipment. If it continues to be used, it can cause eye irritation.

How to Avoid Eye Disorders Due to Make Up

So that your eyes can look beautiful while staying healthy, there are some tips for using special eye makeup equipment. Here are the ways you can follow:
  • Make it a habit to wash your hands and face before wearing makeup equipment for the eyes.
  • If your eyes are experiencing irritation, infection, or red eye, avoid wearing eye makeup so that the condition of the eye is not getting worse.
  • Avoid using eyeliner that contains kohl. The reason is, the Kohl contains high levels of lead.
  • Avoid giving water to mascara that has dried, let alone wearing it. Change mascara when it's dry. Even if it's not dry, you still have to replace the mascara and other makeup tools every 3 months. You are also advised to note the date when you first opened the mascara packaging. The goal is to find out when to get rid of the mascara when it expires.
  • Eyeshadow and other types of eye makeup equipment may contain mercury as a preservative. The Indonesian Food and Drug Administration (BPOM) limits the use of 0.007 percent of make up equipment as a safe limit. Always choose cosmetics that have clear safety.
  • Avoid wearing makeup equipment on the eyes when you are in a vehicle. The instability of motion of a vehicle or a vehicle that stops suddenly can make makeup equipment hurt the eyes.
  • Make sure you wear makeup on the outside of the eye. Avoid wearing makeup on the inside of the eye to avoid irritation and infection due to makeup.
  • Determine the use of a makeup tool for only one part of the face. This is intended to minimize the spread of bacteria from one part of the face to another. For example, don't use a lip brush to apply eye makeup. In addition, follow the procedures for use according to the procedures on the packaging.
  • Avoid storing makeup equipment for the eyes in high temperature places, for example in the car. If you like to take a bath with hot water, then the heat collected in the bathroom can have a negative effect on makeup too.
  • Never share makeup equipment for eyes with others, because there is a risk of transmitting bacteria.
  • Avoid using colorful and shiny makeup equipment. These types of makeup support materials allow the eye to become irritated and scratched.
  • If you wear contact lenses, the use of eye makeup should be more careful, because eyes that use contact lenses can be more susceptible to irritation when wearing makeup on the eyes.
  • Make sure you clean your face and eyes from makeup, every time you sleep at night.
In essence, make up equipment for the eyes generally contains ingredients that are safe. The most important thing is to keep it, keep it clean, and use it properly. If there are complaints of pain or itching and swelling in the eyes after using makeup equipment on the eyes, stop using it immediately. This may indicate that you are allergic or unsuitable for the product. If eye irritation is difficult to overcome, you can consult an eye doctor for treatment.
