Tired of Red, Teary, Irritated Eyes?

More Savvy Tips

Do you wake up with burning and red eyes, or find your eyes tearing up constantly? Eye doctors hearthese complaints frequently and suggest keepinglotions and creams which you apply to your face, away from your eyes.

Irritating ingredients in some skin care products candamage the protective tear layer covering the eyeball. To avoid problems, use only water-based eye make-up removers and apply lotions and creams only up to your cheekbone and above the brow, so as to not get too close to the eye.  Creams can seep into your eyes and destroy your natural tear chemistry. This can cause another problem known as dry eye. Also, if you use eye drops that claim to whiten your eyes, never use them on an ongoing basis.  Repeated applications can create a rebound effect and your redness problem will get worse.
