Many women experience itchy, watery eyes, often blaming cosmetics for irritation and allergic reactions. However, the primary culprit is often flaking mascara and eyeliner particles entering the eye, rather than true allergic reactions.
Fortunately, companies like Blinc Inc. have pioneered advancements in eye makeup technology to address these common issues. Their Kiss Me Mascara and Kiss Me Eyeliner feature an acrylic-based formula that prevents flaking, smudging, clumping, and running. Crucially, Blinc’s products are formulated without damaging or irritating ingredients.
According to Dr. Frances J. Storrs, Professor Emerita of Dermatology at Oregon Health & Science University, “The type of acrylic used in this eyeliner is also perfectly safe, even in terms of allergy.” This endorsement was featured in a Prevention magazine article highlighting Blinc’s eyeliner.
Due to their gentle formulation, some ophthalmologists recommend Kiss Me Mascara and Eyeliner to patients with sensitive eyes, contact lens wearers, and those recovering from laser eye surgery.
The unique Kiss Me Mascara forms tiny, water-resistant tubes around each lash. These tubes are easily removed with warm water and gentle friction, eliminating the need for harsh makeup removers. Similarly, Kiss Me Eyeliner creates a water-resistant layer of color on the eyelid that peels off effortlessly along with the mascara.
To further promote eye health, it’s crucial to replace mascara and eyeliner regularly. The beauty industry generally recommends replacing eye makeup every 90 days to minimize bacteria buildup. Sharing cosmetics, especially eye makeup, should also be avoided to prevent the spread of germs.
Additionally, many physicians recommend supporting eye health through antioxidant and lutein-rich supplements. Products like Super Antioxidant with Macular Protection by Clinician’s Choice can be beneficial.
