Article written by Dr.

Make up is putting women at risk of deadly diseases, say experts.
According to researchers, cosmetics and beauty products often contain toxic
ingredients that can cause cancer and other fatal illnesses and should never be
used as part of a beauty routine.
Today we examine some potential
problems related to eye makeup and ways you can safely avoid them. Most women
reading this article wear makeup daily and probably have a tough time leaving
the house without putting on mascara or eyeliner. While eye makeup can enhance
the appearance of our eyes, it can also cause many issues for them.
EYE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH
EYE MAKEUP
Scratched cornea: One of the most serious injuries that can be caused by eye makeup is
damage to your cornea. It is possible to scratch your cornea while applying
makeup with your mascara applicator or eyeliner. This could lead to a corneal
abrasion, which could become seriously infected.
Conjunctivitis:
The most common eye problem
associated with eye makeup is conjunctivitis, or pink eye. There could be
bacterial growth on your makeup and this could happen if it’s expired or not
properly stored.
Allergic
reactions: Often times, an allergic
reaction to a specific type of eye makeup could cause redness, irritation, eye
swelling, or infection. It’s important to check the makeup label before buying,
and if you come across an allergic reaction make sure you look for a different
product.
In
some cases, women who wear contact lenses may be more susceptible to eye
problems related to eye makeup. Some eye makeup products may accidentally
contaminate your contact lenses even if the smallest makeup particle comes in
contact with the lens.

DANGERS IN WEARING FAKE EYE
LASHES
They
may look good, but they're not the best thing for the health of your eyes.
Longer eyelashes increases airflow around the eye and lead to more dust hitting
the surface. This means the eyes are left unprotected and are more likely to
dry out.
For more information on
eye makeup safety make sure to contact your eye doctor.
