With these simple tips and methods, removing waterproof eyeliner can be a safe and gentle process.
Introduction
One of the most vulnerable and sensitive parts of our face is the area around the eyes. Frequently falling asleep without removing waterproof eyeliner can clog hair follicles and oil glands on your eyelids, which may cause inflammation and allow germs to accumulate in these blocked regions. Hence, removing the eyeliner before you hit the bed is key. Valerie Aparovich, certified cosmetologist-aesthetician, biochemist, and Science Team Lead at OnSkin, says: “Nightly removal of makeup products is a must-do for healthy skin.
When it comes to eye makeup, it’s especially important as it also affects the health of our organs of vision. Eyeliners, mascaras, and eye shadows (and the rest of rinse-off decorative cosmetics) contain dyes, preservatives, and other ingredients that can cause skin and eye irritation and allergic reactions. When remaining on the skin for a prolonged time, they cause meibomian glands clogging and inflammation. In some cases, allergic conjunctivitis may develop, leading to eye redness, tearing, and discomfort (the condition requiring medical treatment).”
So the area around the eyes must be handled gently and with care – and pulling, tugging, or any other abrasive removal techniques can hurt your eyes. So, do we have alternatives? Well, yes. Here, we have listed a few easy techniques that make the whole process of removing a waterproof eyeliner much less stressful. Keep scrolling to know more!
