Red bloodshot eyes from using cosmetics

We all know that everyone's skin is different, so the ability to adapt to cosmetics is also different. Some people are born with sensitive skin and may be particularly prone to allergic reactions to cosmetics. The most common phenomenon when allergic is worsening red bloodshot, especially around the eyes, where the skin is the weakest. So what should people do if their eyes are severely red due to cosmetics?

The formation of red blood

First of all, we should know that our eyes are usually white because there are tiny capillaries in the eyes, which are usually invisible. That is to say, there are bloodshot in the eyes. Because there are blood vessels in the eyes, when we don’t sleep well, the blood vessels become congested, and the bloodshot will be more serious than usual. Of course, some people are born with thicker eye blood vessels than others. When our eyes are over-tired or infected, blood vessels may rupture and cause retinal bleeding.

What causes red bloodshot eyes?

1. Bad living habits, such as: staying up late for a long time, irregular sleep, wearing contact lenses for a long time, frequently facing computers, mobile phones and other electronic products, etc.

2. Abuse of cosmetics. Nowadays, people are accustomed to wearing eye makeup. Heavy makeup often damages the skin around the eyes, and some cosmetics can directly damage the eyes.

3. Frowning and squinting will make the skin around the eyes tense and become loose. In addition, too many facial expressions will also make the skin on the face, including the skin around the eyes, loose and aged.
