Sleeping Habits May Affect Eye Hygiene
According to specialists, certain nighttime habits may increase the likelihood of irritation around the eyes.
Common habits linked to poor eye hygiene include:
- Sleeping without removing makeup
- Rarely washing pillowcases
- Sharing towels or bedding
- Touching eyes with unclean hands
- Poor facial cleansing routines
Sleeping with eye makeup is considered one of the most common causes of clogged oil glands and eyelid irritation.
Experts also note that dirty pillowcases may collect oils, dust, bacteria, and dead skin cells over time.
