• How To Clean Your Eyes
Foreign bodies such as dust, dirt and make-up enter our eyes on a daily basis. We humans are well equipped to deal with these unwanted visitors; blinking and tear production are natural reactions that we encounter regularly, and, more often than not, they get the job done.
However, our eyes sometimes need a little help with cleaning, particularly if an illness such as blepharitis or dry eye syndrome is also a factor.
Eye bathing is excellent at removing dust, grit and oily build-ups from the eye. Using an eye bath alongside a special eye wash solution allows a thorough clean. Eye conditions or poor make-up removal can lead to a crusting of the eyelids. In cases of crusting an eyelid cleaning routine is recommended.

- Repeat for the other eye and discard the eye wash after use.
- Sterilize the eye bath if it will be used by someone else.
Cleaning the EyelidsIf your eyelids become crusted-up due to a build up of matter or from illness, daily cleaning will help alleviate any discomfort.- Wet a flannel, cloth, cotton wool or other compress with warm water and gently apply to the closed eye for 5-10 minutes.
- Rub the closed eyelids with a gentle motion to start loosening any crusting and debris. Do this for 2-3 minutes, repeating if necessary.
- Moisten a cotton bud, flannel or cloth with warm water and apply a little cleansing solution or diluted baby shampoo. Gently clean the edges of the eyelids to remove the loosened debris and crusting.
- Repeat twice a day.
