Why you need to remove eye make up before you sleep




I love eye make up. Eye liner, eye shadows, these are things I love to play with and I love wearing eyeliner and shadows. But I wasn't always very careful with removing eye make up, I just washed my face and dealt with it.

But roughly a year bck I joined a firm and started work, which meant fewer hours of sleep and longer hours of working with the laptop, exposing my eyes to the laptop screen for hours. Which lead to a problem called Dry eyes.

Dry eyes is something you may or may not be born with. I t can happen because of varius reasons and it is not to be taken lightly. One day a few months back, I had powder Liner on and just washed my face and went to bed. Some particles from the liner entered my eye. Now the thing about our eyes is, because it is so sensitive, even the smallest of particles can irritate the eye. So the particle caused some friction and a small partof my eye became rough on the surface and normally eyes heal this to the best of their capabilities but because my eyes were dry, my eye did not heal by itself.

After many visits to the opthalmalogist for months to follow, I now excercise proper caution. ALWAYS use a good make up remover to remove the eye makeup. Do NOT let the remover enter your eye okay, be careful, take a minute and do the needful. If there is irritation from any particles, please don't rub your eye. Use a lubricant as recommended by your eye doctor.

Play, but always be safe.
