When it comes to beauty routines, your eyes deserve a little extra love. Whether you’re a makeup lover or more low-maintenance, small habits can make a big difference in keeping your eyes healthy, comfortable, and looking their best.
Here are 8 simple tips we recommend:
1. Choose Ophthalmologist-Tested Makeup
Not all makeup is created equal—especially when it comes to your eyes. Using ophthalmologist-tested products helps reduce irritation and keeps your eyes feeling comfortable all day long.
P.S. You can shop our favourites directly from our online store!
2. Replace Your Mascara Every 3 Months
Mascara can quickly become a breeding ground for bacteria. To avoid irritation or infection, swap it out every 3 months—no exceptions!
3. Sharing is Caring… Except When It Comes to Eye Makeup
We get it—sharing is tempting. But when it comes to eye products, it’s a no-go. Sharing mascara, liner, or shadow can spread bacteria and lead to infections.
4. Go Fragrance-Free
Fragrance might smell nice, but it can be irritating to the delicate eye area. Opt for fragrance-free products whenever possible, especially if you have sensitive eyes.
5. Always Remove Your Makeup Before Bed
After a long day, it’s tempting to skip this step—but your eyes (and lashes) need their beauty sleep too. Removing makeup helps prevent irritation, clogged glands, and lash damage.
6. Treat Yourself to Sunnies 😎
UV protection isn’t just smart—it’s stylish too. A good pair of sunglasses protects your eyes from harmful UV rays while elevating your look. Fun fact: 90% of aging around the eyes is caused by UV exposure.
UV protection = smart AND glam.
7. Keep Eye Drops Handy
Long days, screen time, and dry environments can leave your eyes feeling tired. Keeping lubricating eye drops in your bag is an easy way to refresh and stay comfortable on the go.
Fun fact: we carry eye drops for both humans and their furry friends!
8. Don’t Skip Your Annual Eye Exam
Your eyes change over time—even if your vision feels fine. Regular eye exams help catch issues early and keep your eyes healthy for the long run.
