Dry Eyes and Eye Makeup
Did you know that eye makeup can aggravate dry eye symptoms?
Considering that women are more prone to dry eye disease, and most women wear eye makeup every day, what do you do? It’s really a matter of what type and how you apply eye makeup that can make the difference. Makeup can be a hassle. If you suffer from dry eyes, we’ve included a few tips here that can help you keep it from being a downright irritation. Literally.
No makeup past the expiration date.
Yes, eye makeup has an expiration date. Specifically, mascara should be used no more than 3 months after you purchase it. It’s 6 months for cream eye shadows and blushes, and up to 2 years for eyeliner
Remove it right.
First, make sure you remove your make up every night before bed. Opt for quality, gentle removers like mineral oil-free, paraben-free, gel-based products.
Completely avoiding eye makeup is the best defense, particularly if you have a more severe dry eye condition. This may not be so easy, so just remember to keep a close eye on how and what you apply to minimize any discomfort.
Apply outside the lash line.
If you have sensitive eyes, always avoid applying eye makeup over the oil glands of the upper or lower eyelid. Apply outside the lash line, and make sure mascara is applied from the tips not the roots of your lashes.
Choose the right kind of makeup.
The type that flakes can get into your tear film and increase irritation and itchiness. Also, considering using thickening mascara instead of waterproof or the type that lengthens lashes. These are much less likely to flake and fall into your eyes.

i have just been told i have dry eye syndrome i have drops and ointment and I’m still burning and having trouble. Im hoping for help.
Keep in mind that dry eyes treatment is more than just drops and ointment. Consider moisture chambers and/or dry eye sunglasses and warm compresses. Add Omega 3 to your diet and have a very good eyelid hygiene. Ask your doctor about all this!
I have been suffering for dry eye syndrome for almost 4 years now and on Restasis, which is doing nothing. Using Almay hypoallergenic mascara (minimally) and wondering if there is something else that I could purchase that would be less annoying to my eyes. Any thoughts! My eyes are continually burning, dry and light sensitive. Modern medicine sucks as no eye doctor is helping me.
My opthalmologist fitted punctual plugs….only thing that’s
worked for me.
