Glitter In Her Hair: Stop Scrubing

Think about the most delicate part of your face. If you guessed your eye area, then you are right! The eyes prove to be the most sensitive and delicate area on the entire body because it is where the skin is the thinnest and lacks glands, meaning a lack of hydration. Think about it, one day the area may be puffy and the next day dark circles may pop up. The area is always in flux. Here are some tips to help protect and defend from long-term damage.

1). When removing mascara, don't scrub it off! Not only will it irritate the skin, but the eyelash follicles will become damaged. You are scrubbing to hard if you find an eyelash or two on your makeup wipe. Instead, hold a moist makeup wipe or a cotton pad soaked with remover over your lashes for 30-45 seconds. This will loosen the formula so you can gently "feather" off the remaining product.

2). Use your ring finger to rub in moisturizer. On the Today show, dermatologists Dr. Melanie Grossman and Dr. Jeanine Downie, revealed the ring finger is the weakest finger, therefore will reduce extreme stretching of the under-eye skin.

3). Refrain from those waterproof formulas. They are extremely difficult to remove because they are waterproof... It isn't worth the insurance policy waterproof guarantees. My favorite formulas:

Maybelline Volum'Express The Rocket Mascara - $7.49

L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara $9

4). Most importantly, take off your eye makeup every night. Just do it. No matter how lazy you are, it is the best thing you can do for your face. You will never meet a makeup enthusiast who tells you to leave it on. If you are lazy, try keeping makeup wipes by your bedside table, or next to a table lamp, so you will always remember. Even though you should cleanse in addition to using a makeup wipe, using one is better than using nothing at all.
