Forget the waterproof mascara according to this ophthalmologist. In a video published on social networks, the professional alerts the dangerous side of the product. Zoom.
What if we threw our waterproof mascara? Although it is acclaimed for its long outfit, its ultra-recurring side as well as its resistance to any test (see how difficult it is to remove it), it would not be the best option for our eyes. This is in any case what Dr. Jacqueline Beltz, ophthalmologist in Australia explains, in a video published on the favorite social network of the Z generation: Tiktok.
While she is examining a patient, she asks him if she uses waterproof mascara. Response from the main interested party: obviously. A gesture to avoid absolutely according to the professional. “”The reason I suggest to my patients not to wear a waterproof mascara, it is because the chemicals and ingredients present in the composition make it dry quickly and hold all day“, she begins by explaining. According to Dr. Beltz, this type of mascara contains for example very drying alcohols which can then damage the tearful film of the eye.”Many people have already dry and sensitive eyes, they do not need to add a layer“, Harts the pro.
The second reason why Dr. Beltz does not recommend the Waterproof mascara is quite simple: Remove it requires special and stronger products, but also “Rub more what can be irritating if you have sensitive eyes.“Indeed, the components of the waterproof mascara wrap the eyelashes and sail in the water. Remove it can then prove to be particularly delicate, and weaken the fiber in passing. Jacqueline Beltz then advises to choose a product that does not drool, but without being waterproof.
And if, for a special occasion, you still want to crack, then be sure to use an oil makeup remover like a biphase, a balm or even an oil. Opt for slow and circular movements, do not rub and rinse the product well at the end. When you have removed all the mascara, use a serum to strengthen the eyelashes as well as eye drops.
