Can your makeup habits be causing your dry eyes?

April is National Women’s Eye Health and Safety Month. Keeping your eyes healthy is an important part of any wellness routine.

We all know that we should remove makeup before going to bed. But did you know sleeping with eye makeup on can lead to clogging of the oil-producing glands and eye infections? Eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara can clog the meibomian glands in your eyelids, which make the oil for your tears. Some common components of eye makeup removers are also known to cause irritation to the eyes.

Life can get busy and it’s easy to forget to remove your makeup but creating a habit of cleaning the eyelids and lashes after wearing makeup can decrease the buildup under the eyelid that could cause damage. Removing makeup before bed can also reduce the risk of clogged pores and eye and skin irritations.

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, being gentle with your eyelashes and the delicate areas around your eyes is also important to your overall eye health. Eyelashes keep dust and dirt out of your eyes. They also keep your eyes from drying out by blocking air movement over your tear film.
