#205: Good Habits to Support Dry Eye Relief
Focusing on these three essential habits are of the utmost importance in maintaining healthy eyes. Let's cultivate good habits around eye hygiene this month, it's important to pay special attention to the well-being of our eyes. Afterall, they are the only pair we'll ever have.
Tip 1: Remove Your Contact Lenses
Remove your contact lenses before any of the three "S"s. Never leave your contact lenses in your eyes while:
- Showering
- Swimming
- Sleeping
Removing your lenses prior to these three S's ensures you keep your eyes in top shape. Each of these activities increases your risks of sight threatening eye infections. Always removing contacts before any of these situations will reduce your risk of complications and maintain healthy habits.
The most effective contact lens cleanser on the market is ClearCare. It is important to thoroughly cleanse your lenses every night before re-inserting them. I’ve recorded a video guide for using ClearCare properly. It is different than any other contact lens cleanser on the market. Make sure you watch the video before trying it at home.
Tip 2: Say Goodbye to Eye Makeup Before Bed
For those who wear eye makeup, having healthy eyes also involves removing eye makeup every night. Leaving makeup behind can lead to overpopulation of the bacteria living on the lids and lashes. Extra bacteria will cause inflammation, irritation and, ultimately, wrinkles.
My favorite makeup remover is new from Bausch & Lomb. It’s the Lumify Micellar Cleansing Water. This remover works great for effective makeup removal without the need for rubbing. The solution dissolves even the most stubborn of eye makeup and allows you to wipe it away gently.
Tip 3: Develop an Eyecare Routine
Similar to your routines for dental care and skincare, your eyes deserve a dedicated daily routine. You have a daily routine to keep your skin glowing and moisturized. It has 4-steps: cleanse, tone, moisturize, and protect with sunscreen. And, you use 4 products to care for your teeth: tooth brush, tooth paste, floss, and mouth wash. Yet, you don't have a daily routine to care for your eyes.
The eyes are different from your skin, hair, and teeth in one important aspect. You can not replace them. The eyes do not regenerate like your hair does when you cut it. Your eyes require special attention since we can't replace them. There are just 4-simple steps you need to take to care for your eyes. And, I’ve put together a convenient kit to get them all in one place.
