醫(yī)生警告，每天涂睫毛膏對眼睛有害

Humans have been wearing mascara for centuries – with Egyptians inventing it more than 4,000 years ago.

人類使用睫毛膏已有幾個世紀的歷史——埃及人早在4000多年前就發(fā)明了睫毛膏。

And it’s a staple in many people’s makeup bags, many women feeling incomplete without it.

它是很多人化妝包里的主要部分，很多女人沒有它會覺得不完整。

However, it might be time to ditch it, at least a few days a week – as doctors warn that putting it on every day can actually do more harm than good.

然而，現(xiàn)在可能是時候戒掉它了，至少一周幾天——因為醫(yī)生警告說，每天都使用它實際上弊大于利。

It comes as many makeup users are using mascara that has past its expiry or leaving it on for longer than they should.

目前，許多化妝用戶都存在使用的睫毛膏過期或使用時間過長。

In particular, research by the College of Optometrists revealed over half of make-up users do not check the instructions to see how long they should keep their mascara on for, with almost a fifth admitting they didn’t even know that expiry information existed.

尤其值得一提的是，驗光師學(xué)院的一項研究顯示，超過一半的彩妝使用者沒有查看睫毛膏的使用說明，而近五分之一的人承認他們甚至不知道過期信息的存在。

Dr Alexis Granite, consulting dermatologist for Kiehl’s Since 1851, has revealed that constantly wearing mascara can cause inflammation and infection and even loss of your eyelashes.

亞歷克西斯·格拉尼特博士(Alexis Granite)自1851年起擔(dān)任基爾氏癥(Kiehl 's)的皮膚科顧問。他透露，持續(xù)使用睫毛膏會導(dǎo)致發(fā)炎、感染，甚至睫毛脫落。

Lash loss

睫毛缺失

She said: “Removing eye make-up before you go to sleep is crucial.

她說：“睡覺前卸妝至關(guān)重要。”

“Any product that isn’t taken off has the potential to not only clog your pores, but also cause irritation, inflammation and infections.

“任何未卸妝的產(chǎn)品都有可能不僅堵塞毛孔，還會引起刺激、炎癥和感染。

“Inflammation around the eyelids can also lead to lash loss.”

“眼瞼周圍的炎癥也會導(dǎo)致睫毛脫落。”

Irritation

刺激

Similarly, Ceri Smith-Jaynes, optometrist and spokeswoman for the Association of Optometrists, revealed that wearing mascara every day can cause “serious infection” and damage the “tear film”.

同樣，驗光師協(xié)會的女發(fā)言人、驗光師Ceri Smith-Jaynes透露，每天涂睫毛膏會導(dǎo)致“嚴重感染”，并破壞“淚膜”。

“Generally, any cosmetic applied around the eye area can migrate in to the eye in a matter of minutes,” she told the Sun Online.

她在接受《太陽報》在線采訪時說：“一般來說，眼部周圍的任何化妝品都可能在幾分鐘內(nèi)進入眼部。”

“Some mascaras are particularly fibrous and will irritate some patients and some cosmetics will disrupt the coating of tears, which is supposed to cover the surface of the eye as a smooth tear film.

“有些睫毛膏的纖維含量特別高，會刺激一些患者，有些化妝品會破壞淚膜的覆蓋，而淚膜本來是作為一層平滑的淚膜覆蓋在眼睛表面的。”

“If this ‘tear film’ is disrupted, the tears evaporate more quickly and the eye becomes dry, again leading to irritation.

“如果這層‘淚膜’被破壞，眼淚蒸發(fā)得更快，眼睛變得干燥，再次導(dǎo)致刺激。”

“Despite the preservatives in mascara, eventually the bottle is likely to become contaminated with the bacteria that live naturally on your skin – one study showed 30 per cent of mascara bottles tested had bacterial contamination after just three months of use.

“盡管睫毛膏中含有防腐劑，但最終瓶子很可能會被皮膚上自然存在的細菌污染——一項研究顯示，30%接受測試的睫毛膏瓶子在使用僅三個月后就受到細菌污染。”

Demodex mites

螨蟲

“Adding water or saliva to thin the mascara or sharing mascara with others can increase the contamination. When these bacteria reach large numbers, infection is more likely.”

“用水或唾液稀釋睫毛膏，或與他人共用睫毛膏會增加污染。當(dāng)這些細菌達到大量時，感染的可能性就更大。”

“I recommend paying careful attention to the symbol on the bottle (usually says 3M or 6M with an egg timer or open jar symbol) and discarding the bottle after the manufacturer’s recommended period.”

“我建議仔細注意瓶子上的標(biāo)志(通常是3M或6M帶有雞蛋定時器或開瓶標(biāo)志)，并在制造商推薦的期限后扔掉它。”

“Not all eye infections are immediately obvious, so don’t be tempted to lend someone your mascara wand just because they don’t have a sticky, red eye.”

“并不是所有的眼部感染都很明顯，所以不要因為別人沒有黏糊糊的紅眼睛就把睫毛膏借給他們。”

“Demodex mites live in many people’s eyelash follicles and can be transferred by sharing mascara.”

“蠕形螨生活在許多人的睫毛濾泡中，可以通過共用睫毛膏感染。”

“These cause gradual inflammation and irritation of the lid margin (blepharitis) and are tough to get rid of.”

“這些會導(dǎo)致眼瞼邊緣的炎癥和刺激(瞼緣炎)，而且很難消除。”

“Serious infections of the cornea are rare but are more likely if you accidentally scratch your eye with the mascara wand. So, make sure you’re somewhere steady and don’t be tempted to apply your mascara on a moving train or in the car.

“嚴重的角膜感染很少見，但如果你不小心用睫毛膏棒劃傷了眼睛，這種情況更有可能發(fā)生。所以，確保你在一個穩(wěn)定的地方，不要在火車上或車里涂睫毛膏。”

“It’s worth mentioning that oil-based eye make-up removers can also disrupt your tear film and are normally needed when the mascara is water-proof.”

“值得一提的是，油性眼部卸妝液也會破壞淚膜，如果你的睫毛膏是防水的，通常都會用它。”
