Make-Up Rules

You may not consider yourself as having sensitive skin, but the area around your eyes may be. When it comes to eyelid dermatitis whose symptoms can be stinging, itching and redness, beware of these culprits.

Mascara should be replace often due to bacteria that quickly grows within the container. Usually every three months is recommended. Also, you may want to skip the brighter colored mascaras as the added dyes can cause sensitivity too. Black is the least irritating of all.

The next time you have your nails polished, keep them away from your eyes. Believe it or not, freshly painted nails have irritants that are the top cause of dermatitis. Make sure if you do touch your eyes, your nail polish is completely dry. If your eyes are irritated and you're not sure of the cause, make an appoinment at Carolina Ophthalmolgy Associates today by phone or on line.
