Can olive oil be used to remove eye makeup?

While olive oil is a natural product, it is not recommended for removing eye makeup. There are a few reasons for this:

1. Can Clog Pores: Olive oil is a heavy oil that can clog the delicate pores around your eyes. This can cause blackheads, milia, and other skin problems.

2. May Cause Infections: Olive oil can also provide a breeding ground for bacteria, which can increase the risk of eye infections.

3. Blurred Vision: Olive oil can leave behind an oily residue that can blur your vision. This can be especially dangerous if you are driving or operating machinery.

Instead of olive oil, there are several ophthalmologist-recommended eye makeup removers available that are specifically designed for this purpose. These removers are gentle on the eyes, effectively remove makeup, and are less likely to cause irritation or other skin problems.

Look for eye makeup removers that are:

- Ophthalmologist tested

- Fragrance-free

-Oil-free

-Alcohol-free

-Dye-free
