• The waterproof mascara that resists summer dips

  • Back to basics: this is how a classic eyeliner is drawn (well)

That cleaning is the fundamental step to have healthy and beautiful skin is

the alphabet of dermatologists.

But the eyes are not far behind:

removing them well,

completely, and that there are no traces of makeup, neither

shadows nor eyeliner nor mascara,

is another story.

Because cleaning the eyes, especially before going to bed, has its own idiosyncrasy,

for very specific reasons.

'Watch out' for lash bacteria

By removing eye make-up we mean all of them, eyelids of course, but especially eyelashes.

And it is that, as they remember from the Mia Cosmetics brand, "the eyelashes

have bacteria,

something natural because they act as the

first line of defense of the eyes,

but precisely for this reason they need a careful cleaning before sleeping".

By removing the makeup that we have used on them and the eyelids during the day,

the amount of bacteria

that accumulate in the set can be reduced, which reduces the risk of

developing an infection.

Cleaning prevents dry eye, eyelash loss and the appearance of styes

Night-time eye make-up removal does not just eradicate bacteria.

As the experts at Mia Cosmetics recall, we cannot forget that the

meibomian sebaceous glands

are found on the eyelids, level with the eyelashes

,

between 24 and 40 on the upper ones and between 20 and 30 on the lower ones.

Its function is to

secrete lipids and proteins,

a little bit from each gland, in order to stabilize the tear in the eye, delay its evaporation and

keep the cornea constantly moist.

When remains of makeup, bacteria and particles remain in the meibomian glands, they obstruct them, causing irritation, itching, burning ... the so-

called dry eye syndrome.

Styes and abnormal loss of the eyelashes

can also be direct consequences of an incorrect night cleaning of the eyes.

A specific make-up removal

Preventing these ills goes through a

nighttime make-up removal

imperative

.

To do this, you have to choose

a specific formula,

not the one used for the rest of the face, but a mild one that

does not irritate, soothes, is ophthalmologically tested,

as recommended by the pharmacist

Rocío Escalante,

from Arbosana Farmacia.

Many of these specific cleaning cosmetics

are biphasic,

that is, they mix an aqueous and an oily phase in

order to dissolve the most resistant makeup.

Not only with what is important to remove eye makeup,

but how.

"With the help of

a disk or cotton impregnated

with the product, you have to clean the area gently, without rubbing the eye so as not to damage the eyelashes. It is allowed to

act for a few seconds

so that the makeup softens; then ,

with a light massage,

all the remains are eliminated ", indicates the step by step Escalante.
