Your eyes are very sensitive—removing makeup gently protects both your vision and the delicate skin around them.
Here are some suggested tips:
- Use a doctor-recommended, gentle eye makeup remover (look for “ophthalmologist-tested” or safe for sensitive eyes).
- Soak a cotton pad or approved lid wipe, press on closed eyes for 10 seconds—don’t rub.
- Wipe softly in one direction to avoid irritation and lash damage.
- Use a cotton swab for the lash line or approved lid wipe—keep the product out of the eye itself.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and cleanse to remove residue.
- Clean off makeup every night after use
Harsh rubbing or leftover makeup can lead to irritation, blurred vision, clogged glands, and eye infections.
