Dangerous Make-up   – volume 2

In volume 1 of this two part Dangerous Make-up series we talked about what bad bacteria in make-up could do to your skin. Now, I want to take you a little deeper into the realm of dangerous make-up and focus mainly on what you put on your eyes and the bad habits you may have created every night before you go to bed.

Mascara and eye make-up are great things! The right eye make-up combination can really make your eyes pop. And mascara, forget it nothing else can compare when it comes to making your lashes look long and lustrious!

But did you know, that combination that makes your eyes so beautiful through the day, can be very harmful to your eyes and skin at night? So harmful that the habits you have created at bedtime could be causing your skin to be irritated, or even worse your eyelashes to fall out!

Mascara and eye make-up should not be taken to bed with you. They both should be removed every night with an oil free eye make-up remover.  By not removing your eye make-up, you are encouraging the production of eye mites, which can cause eye lashes to fall out.  These are often called; Demodex mites.  These nasty little buggers can cause a variety of other problems including;

• Widened pores. Usually starts on the nose and cheeks.
• Acne. Forms include pimples, pustules, papules, popular eruption etc.
• Red skin. Usually appears on the lower sides of the nose, forehead and cheeks.
• Itching eye brows.
• Excess of facial oils.
• Demodedic rosacea.
• Swollen nose.

You want an oil free eye make-up remover that gently removes eye makeup, including waterproof mascara, without tugging or pulling the delicate skin in the eye area. It should not leave your skin dry.
