Valentine’s Day celebrations call for glamorous looks, but eye safety should never be compromised for beauty. Our specialists at Megavision Eye Clinic in Lagos have compiled this essential guide to help you achieve stunning results without risking your eye health.
Common Eye Makeup Hazards to Avoid This Valentine’s Day
The romance of Valentine’s shouldn’t end with red, irritated eyes. Book your eye safety consultation today at 08025314335 to discuss any cosmetic-related concerns with our specialists.
1. Expired Products: The Hidden Danger
Makeup products past their expiration date harbor harmful bacteria that can cause severe infections. Check your collection immediately:
- Mascara: Replace every 3 months
- Liquid eyeliner: Replace every 3-6 months
- Eye shadow: Replace every 12-24 months
Need help identifying eye infections from expired makeup? Schedule your eye examination at Megavision Eye Clinic Ikeja by calling 08025314335 now.
2. Shared Makeup: A Fast Track to Eye Infections
Borrowing makeup tools or products significantly increases infection risk. Common conditions transmitted through shared cosmetics include:
- Bacterial conjunctivitis
- Staphylococcal infections
- Viral infections
Experiencing redness or discomfort after using borrowed makeup? Don’t wait—call our Yaba branch at 07042968643 for same-week appointments.
3. Improper Application Techniques
Even quality products can cause problems when applied incorrectly:
- Applying eyeliner inside the waterline blocks essential oil glands
- Poor-quality applicators can scratch your cornea
- Heavy mascara can cause lash breakage and follicle inflammation
