Using old makeup, such as mascara, eyeliner and even foundation, can put an individual at higher risk, so replace these frequently. Failure to cleanse the face and lids, and failure to remove eye makeup before bedtime also promote stye formation.
Why do I get styes when I wear mascara?
2. Replace Eye Makeup Frequently. Over time, eye makeup can collect bacteria and contribute to the development of styes when not replaced frequently. Mascara should be replaced every 2 to 4 months due to the way it's regularly exposed to fungi and bacteria.
How do you keep a stye from getting mascara?
- Wash makeup off before bedtime so eye follicles don't get plugged overnight.
- Replace eye makeup about every six months to avoid bacterial growth.
- Wash your hands regularly when using contact lenses.
- If you have allergies, don't rub your eyes.
