The Hidden Risk: Why Makeup Residue Needs Daily Cleansing
Share
It's common knowledge that sleeping in makeup is bad for your skin, but the residue left behind (even after washing your face) poses a serious threat to your eye health.
The Anatomy of the Residue Risk
Mascara, eyeliner, and shadow are not designed to be near the delicate eyelid margin. Over time, makeup particles, oils, and the bacteria that thrive on them can migrate and settle around your lash line. This buildup can clog the meibomian glands, leading to Blepharitis (eyelid inflammation) and chronic dryness.
Why Gentle Cleansing is Non-Negotiable
You need a cleanser powerful enough to manage bacteria but gentle enough not to irritate. This is where Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) comes in. Unlike oil-based removers or harsh soaps, an HOCl solution like Miracle Mist is non-toxic and effectively supports a hygienic eyelid environment without harsh rubbing.
Make cleansing the eyelid margin your essential Step 1 every single night to protect your glands and maintain comfort.
