Eye infections

Lay off the mascara when it’s hot to avoid developing an eye infection.

Tammy said: “Wearing mascara in a heatwave can result in a build-up of bacteria and an eye infection.

“Mascara needs to be replaced regularly, more regularly than many people realise.

“If you happen to be using an older mascara, one that is over six months old, then bacteria can build up in its container.

“Once you start sweating during the heatwave, the mascara and bacteria can then enter the eye, thus causing risk of infection.

“Make sure you replace your mascara at least once a year, if not more frequently, as the bacteria build-up can result in nasty infections. Also, to avoid panda eyes, opt for a waterproof mascara instead.”
