If you experience eye irritation after using a new make-up product, stop using it immediately and note the product details, symptoms, and timing. This information will help identify the cause and guide future choices.
What to do if you have eye irritation
- Stop using the product: Discontinue use of the new make-up product immediately to prevent further irritation.
- Rinse your eyes: Gently rinse your eyes with clean water or a saline solution to remove any residue.
- Avoid rubbing: Refrain from rubbing your eyes, as this can worsen the irritation.
What to record
Keep a record of the following details to help identify the cause:
- Product name: Note the brand and specific product name.
- Ingredients: Check the product label for ingredients, especially if you have known allergies.
- Symptoms: Describe the type and severity of irritation (e.g., redness, itching, swelling).
- Timing: Record when you applied the product and when symptoms started.
When to seek help
If irritation persists or worsens, consult a clinician. Signs like severe pain, blurred vision, or swelling require immediate attention.
Tips for future make-up use
- Patch test: Always test new products on a small area of skin before applying near your eyes.
- Choose hypoallergenic products: Opt for products labelled hypoallergenic or designed for sensitive skin.
- Remove make-up thoroughly: Use a gentle cleanser like Luté’s Natural Glam range to ensure all make-up is removed before bed.
