Should I remove my makeup first or my contact lenses first?

Nowadays, contact lenses, especially colored contact lenses, have become one of the cosmetics for girls. It is not an exaggeration to say that contact lenses are daily necessities for most girls. Wearing colored contact lenses will indeed make girls' eyes look big and bright. Of course, girls still have to wear makeup. When they are so old, should they remove makeup first or take off their contact lenses before going to bed? Next I will give you a detailed introduction.

It is difficult to see clearly when removing makeup without contact lenses, and it is inconvenient to remove makeup while wearing contact lenses. Why is there such a difficult problem in this world?

The answer is - take off your contact lenses first and then remove your makeup! ! !

Removing your cosmetic contact lenses first can prevent your hands from coming into contact with cosmetic oils from touching the lenses, reduce lens contamination, and reduce the possibility of eye diseases. Some cosmetic contact lenses have silicone molecules added to increase oxygen permeability, which makes them more susceptible to oil and grease adhesion. However, most cosmetics are lipids. Once attached to this material, they are difficult to remove, causing the lenses of contact lenses to become blurrier the longer they are worn. Therefore, when using cosmetic contact lenses or lenses made of this material, you must not remove your makeup first and then take off your contact lenses.

If you remove your makeup first, it will easily flow into your eyes. Since you are wearing contact lenses, you cannot rinse them off with water immediately. If they stick to your contact lenses, you will not be able to get rid of them in seconds.

So take out your contact lenses first, then start removing makeup.

Always remember to wash your hands thoroughly before removing your contact lenses. When removing contact lenses, use two fingers to pry apart the upper and lower eyelids and remove them carefully to avoid the contact lenses touching the eyelashes and getting mascara or eyeliner stuck to them.

In case the contact lenses are stained with makeup, in addition to rinsing with care solution or rubbing the contact lenses in the palm of your hand, using professional contact lens cleaning and care equipment is also a convenient and safe method.

Don't do these things when wearing contact lenses

1. Sleeping with contact lenses

This is definitely a dangerous behavior. The cornea of ​​the eye is a very special organ. It has no blood vessels and breathes with the help of air and surrounding tissues. If you sleep with glasses on, it will affect your eye's breathing, and in serious cases it may cause corneal infection!

2. Put on makeup first or put on contact lenses first

Should I put on makeup first or glasses first? Many girls are troubled by this. The correct way is to wear the lenses first and then put on makeup. When putting on makeup, try not to apply eye shadow and mascara, do not apply loose foundation on your face, and remove contact lenses before removing makeup to avoid cosmetics contaminating the lenses, which can lead to accumulation of deposits on the contact lenses and cause eye irritation, allergic reactions, and infections.

3. Use anti-inflammatory eye drops when wearing contact lenses

If you use eye drops while wearing contact lenses, the ingredients in the drops will settle on the lenses and cause changes in the material and color of the lenses, affecting the quality of the lenses and the therapeutic effect. Therefore, it is best to remove your contact lenses before using anti-inflammatory solutions.

4. Wear contact lenses to do SPA or hot spring bath

In cold weather, many people will think of going to hot springs or taking a SPA, but it is recommended not to wear contact lenses when taking these SPAs, hot springs or steam baths. Because contact lenses contain water, they are easily dehydrated at high temperatures, causing the lenses to stick to the eyes and be difficult to remove, which can also have some adverse effects.

5. Don’t wash your face when wearing contact lenses

Contact lens wearers may be at risk of damaging their eyesight if they wash their faces with tap water, a leading eye expert has said. The presence of amoebas in tap water is the most common cause of rare and painful symptoms in contact lens wearers. He believes that the biggest danger comes from washing your face while wearing contact lenses and holding contact lenses with wet hands. He recommends that people do not let their eyes come into contact with tap water while wearing contact lenses.
