Part 5: Safe Eyelid Hygiene Practices

Maintaining clean eyelid margins is the single best way to prevent irritation and keep microscopic populations in balance:

• Use Warm Compresses: Apply a clean, warm, damp cloth over closed eyelids for 5–10 minutes to loosen oils and debris.
• Gentle Lid Scrubs: Clean the lash line daily using dedicated tea-tree-oil eyelid wipes or diluted baby shampoo.
• Remove Makeup Completely: Never sleep in mascara or eyeliner, which can clog glands and trap bacteria.
