Our retinols and maybe other cosmetics causing your eyes to be red.
I was asked specifically about retinols.
Can retinols make your eyes dry and red?
Why are your eyes dry?
And right.
A may not just be the retinol might be other things, but more importantly,
is there anything you can do today?
I'm going to help you.
I'm going to give you a list of the top culprits for.
Readiness sensitivity.
It's so common often what's irritating.
The eyes are the most popular practices for beauty, lashes and skin.
So please don't be upset with me for giving you these.
I do have some solutions and we can work through this.
So stay tuned opera.
We can eliminate or reduce the cost.
So that is the good news.
We'll do something about it.

So you won't miss one of them.
I bring you many things for health, beauty, fashion, including supplements
and things that you can do at home.
O S D or ocular surface disease.
It refers to the blanket condition, covering many elements that can hamper
your tear, film and dry out the Oculus.
Patients presenting with ocular surface disease represent a significant portion
of the ophthalmologist practice.
OSD is often undiagnosed and insufficiently treated often.
Unfortunately it is for makeup and beauty creams.
The very things we seek to enhance our beauty and our looks not diminish them.
And we used a contrast portions of her face, such as the.
The brow, the lashes.
And that's, what's important about this video.
As we dive into this first, keep in mind, the cosmetics industry is unregulated by
the FDA and many of the ingredients not even listed on a product can significantly
impact ocular surface disease.
For instance, take Latisse.
It's a drug it's regular.
Whereas lash conditioners, they're unregulated, but may contain
some of the same ingredients or preservatives that are in Latisse.
Here are some of the top products to look for.
Number one.
Waterproof eyeliner or mascara, they are waterproof for a reason.
They're hard to remove and filled with irritants only eye makeup remover
containing harsh chemicals can actually dissolve the residues that these
produce and leave around the eyes.
Patients who wear these products either expose their eyes to harsh chemicals or
fail to completely remove the potential irritants before they go to bed sparkly.
Mika and other minerals can cause redness and irritation while glitter can even
flake off course cause irritation.
But sometimes it actually gets into the eye and needs to be removed, but even
regular old makeup can cause problems.
The key word being old makeup that's past its use by date can become
a breeding ground for bacteria.
And fungus, the expiration date depends on the formula, but most experts recommend
tossing products after three months to about a year dry products of course are
going to last longer because lotions or creamy products, they have moisture
and water and things grow and divide.
Amongst moist moisture.
Keep in mind if contaminated even one week is still old,
so you have to keep it clean.
And when you're transferring or applying it use new, Q-tips be mindful
where the application method is.
So just because something's new, it can still become contaminated.
What are some of the bad ingredients that you're going
to look for in your eyeshadow?
There's a top number and then.
Parabens at the oxalated ingredients, such as pegs, like polyethylene glycol.
Polysorbate.
What about carbon black paraffin wax ISO paraffin, liquid, poly acrylic.
Talc PTSB or Teflon next on our list is eyelash growth serums.
Oh, so popular.
These serums contain isopropryl CLO Preston, Nate, and other prostate gland
and analogs potential side effects of these types of drugs include lid and
ocular surface inflammation, which causes.
An orbital fat atrophy that is premature aging of the eye.
And it's scaring a lot of people.
I'm doing a complete video on that.
So look for that video on how these can age your eye.
We need to do a complete section on that, but as for I irritate.
They can certainly cause it, these are both sold over the counter and by
prescription over the counter products usually contain other ingredients such as
peptides bioteine, uh, CLO Preston eight.
As I mentioned, the only FDA actually approved prescription
option for eyelash growth is Latisse.
And that contains but bono prossed ingredients.
Release formaldehyde.
Now this is the next category and formaldehyde irritates the ocular surface.
When you read the list of cosmetic ingredients, unfortunately, you're not
going to see formaldehyde listed, but you are going to see names such as the
MDM hydantoin ureas, um, sodium hydroxy, methyl, glycenate, these engravers.
Uh, related to formaldehyde, and we know that perhaps Vermont obviously irritates
the eye and the cornea, even at very low concentrations of 0.05 parts per million.
So look for those next on the list is retinae and retinal derivative retinoids,
such as retinol, which is found in a lot of anti-aging lotions under eye creams.
They can cause the, my Beaumont.
To be damaged.
So that's a long, the lash, uh, the eyelash at the lid margin, you find these
Glens they're responsible for lubricating the eye, and they're so important.
They haven't been shown to cause the fat atrophy that we talked about
with the conditioners, but they haven't been shown to irritate them.
Dry eye patients can stop using these derivatives on the face, the entire face,
because remember Mike it on your pillow might then inadvertently get in the eye.
So it's not just eye creams, but stop them for about four weeks.
See if things improve.
If patients stop using them around their eyes and the dry eye gets better, then we
know it's really the only way to test this makeup application techniques and cosmetic
procedures can also be problematic.
A few examples.
Tightening what's this, it says technique, which you align the upper
waterline to enhance your eyes and.
Uh, fuller.
The why'd I looked at is so in.
So if you're using something for a wide eyed look, you might be using that type of
technique by placing that eyeliner right into the lash line of your top lashes.
You Tightline the eyes and Korean.
Illusion, it's all an illusion of dense lash roots.
So be mindful of that practice.
It definitely irritates the eye because you're right there where
those important glands are lash extensions, almost everyone.
Something to grow the lashes zip.
It's not the conditioner, it's the extensions.
And they can be very long.
Last salons typically recommend that the patients keep water away from your
eyes during the first 12 to 24 hours after the application, that is so that
the glue can dry and set properly.
Firstly, women who spend hundreds of hours and $200 in more in the last.
May just stop cleaning their lashes all together because they want
them to last longer, big mistake.
All during the lash link has other insidious effects for
the patients with red eye.
It changes.
Imagine this the Lynne lash ratio so that the normal link lashes, of course
they usually do something eye lashes.
Maybe people don't even think about this, but.
They have a physiologic function for the eye.
So it's very important for their function to deflect wind.
That's just one of them also debris and allergens, and keep
those away for the service.
When you start to artificially adjust the ratio and I'm targeting lash
extensions here, because usually they're growing the lashes longer
than with conditioners or Latisse.
When you create that wind tunnel.
The wind is changed and the protection has changed around the surface of the eye.
So instead of moving debris and wind away, it actually creates a funnel that
actually allows particles, allergens, and actually wind flow to get into the
eye, the exact opposite of what you want to do for a healthy eye service.
So be mindful of.
Now of course, I live tattooing very common folks who don't
want to bother applying.
I makeup every other day.
They get a permanent eyeliner and this can significantly affect that eye line
and give you caretakers and lid trucks.
And what about Botox?
A lot of people are tired of getting crow's feet.
They want solutions.
They want instant Botox can do this in a couple of ways.
Botox works by weakening that muscle, the orbicularis oculi muscle
that, that, that shuts the eye.
And when you get an incomplete blink that can worsen dry eye, the
other thing is we can create a more open eye look by injecting toxins.
At the lower lid, it gives a more wide open blank stare
that certainly causes dry eye.
I've seen many cases of that.
Some people just live with it cause they want a wider open eye, but inadvertently,
some people might not realize their Botox can certainly cause dry eye.
So eye hygiene is very important and those are some cause of agents.
That's the first thing to eliminate everything.
Start things back one at a time.
See what.
Irritating your eye.
We did talk about my bone Liam glands, and there's several things
that people can do for the health of the eye to help produce more fluid,
uh, to keep the eye functioning.
It's, it's way more complex than people think in terms of the air flow to that.
The production of the fluid and then the fluid draining from the medial
or the intersection of the eye that all has to function perfectly.
There are many things people can do such as warm compresses,
milking the, my Bohemiam gland.
Um, That are preservative free.
If you'd like a video, more in-depth of what to do for those things, click
the like button and tell me in the comments below a nighttime routine
is absolutely key to a healthy eye, but start by removing those.
Tell me, what do you do to help keep your eyes perfect.
Moist white.
And of course, vision is the most important part.
I put a complete playlist up here on.
Retinoids and one down here on it's a non retinoid, but it actually works like
a retinol and it causes less irritation.
Stay tuned.
Keep your skin and body beautiful, healthy environment.
