Sensitive eyes and makeup: our advice

Yeux sensibles et maquillage : nos conseils
If your eyes start to water, sting or turn red as soon as you touch your makeup, don't worry too much! It's just that your eyes are a little sensitive, but that doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to your beauty rituals just yet. In fact, by choosing your products better and paying attention to a few gestures, you will be able to put on makeup without feeling these inconveniences.
HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR EYES ARE SENSITIVE?
There are several signs that may tell you that your eyes are sensitive. For example, if you feel tingling, your eyelids or mucous membranes become irritated and red, or if you start crying for no apparent reason.
WHY DO SOME PEOPLE HAVE MORE SENSITIVE EYES?
Sensitive eyes can be the result of an allergy or specific situations such as contact lens wear or dry eyes. It's important to take these inconveniences seriously, because they can get worse if you don't change your habits quickly.
HOW TO DO YOUR MAKEUP WHEN YOU HAVE SENSITIVE EYES?
You can still wear makeup even if you have sensitive eyes. Here are some tips for choosing your makeup and adopting gentler procedures for your eyes.
CHOOSE YOUR MAKEUP WELL
Be careful about the products you use. Avoid those that contain synthetic fragrances or pigments, as they can easily cause irritation. Waterproof products should also be avoided, as they often contain aggressive ingredients. Instead, favor organic or natural cosmetic products, with pigments of plant origin.
REMOVE YOUR MAKE-UP EVERY DAY
To avoid reactions in your eyes, remember to remove your makeup every day with gentle, dermatologically tested products. This will ensure that you don't introduce irritating substances near your eyes.
CLEAN YOUR ACCESSORIES REGULARLY
Don't forget to regularly clean your brushes and other accessories after each use. Clean tools will reduce the risk of infection and irritation around the eyes.
ACTION TO AVOID
When you have sensitive eyes, avoid applying pencil to the inside of your eyes, rubbing your eyelids too much when applying makeup, or applying your mascara too close to the roots of your eyelashes. Instead, opt for lighter makeup techniques that require fewer products.

By following these tips, you will be able to fully enjoy your makeup without worrying about irritating your sensitive eyes.
