Preservatives or Self Preservation?

Paraben is a preservative commonly found in makeup. Its commonly known that preservatives are a good thing for the life of the product, but not for the health of the end consumer. Recently a study has published that this preservative was found inside some breast cancer tumors. Further studies are being undertaken. Obviously, waterproof makeup is not recommended as it requires a more aggressive formula to remove… plus it contains a whole other set of chemicals in order to make it waterproof. The last thing a dry eye needs is more chemicals! If you decide to wear eye makeup, baby shampoo or a product such as Cetaphil is a good make up remover. Make up must always be diligently removed before going to bed. If it is not, dry eye symptoms such as irritation, redness and infection are likely.
