14 DECEMBER 2022 As the Party Season Approaches The festive season parties, with mil- lions of women set to ‘Glam Up’ for the celebrations, applying the the right amount of make-up to achieve this winter’s most fashionable looks. Duignan Phelps Optometrists in Newport is urging party goers to pay close attention to the removal of cosmetics post party. The eyes are one of the most sensi- tive parts of the face being more prone to infection than almost any other part of the body so it’s advised that all products are removed before sleeping to prevent allergic reactions and lens irritation. Contact lens wear- ers are also reminded that despite the time of day or level of tiredness, lenses should always be removed before bed time unless they are prescribed for overnight wear. As a rule, mascara and liquid eye liner should be dis- carded three to six months after opening, with all other eye make-up replaced on a regular basis.
