Permanent 'Beauty' Option Available to Ease Eye Allergy Sufferers
(Las Vegas) – Red eyes, sore eyes, dry eyes, puffy eyes - many of these symptoms are caused by allergies that makeup wearers suffer through on a regular basis. The cause? Often it could be as simple as an individual's eye makeup.
Research has shown that eyelids are extra prone to absorbing makeup, sometimes creating sensitivity to certain products that may lead to allergic reactions. Certain cosmetics, such as eyeliner and mascara in sensitive individuals can cause dermatitis, an allergic reaction creating puffy eyelids, itching, irritation and other symptoms. In rare cases, bacterial infection spread by eye makeup has caused temporary or permanent blindness.
However, this does not mean that people must abstain from makeup on their eyes. Mary Arnold, founder of Professional Permanent Cosmetics (sm), offers an alternative solution for allergy sufferers who have beauty needs. Through a tattooing process called micropigmentation, in which pigments are inserted into the dermal layer of the skin, even those with severe eye allergies can receive permanent eyeliner, eyebrows, eyelash enhancement, and eye shadow.
"Getting permanent makeup is easier on your eyes," said Arnold. "If you have eye allergies and infections, you're many times forced to throw away your cosmetics on a regular basis. Permanent cosmetics can help eliminate your problems."
The process, which is relatively pain-free, is extremely popular in the spring and summer months, when allergies are in full swing. Typically it is around this time that Arnold receives new clients interested in these beautifying procedures.
"Many of my clients have told me they now no longer worry about their makeup smearing off during the spring and summer months as their allergies affect them," Arnold said. "It is such a pain-free, convenient way to handle the situation, and they feel so much better about themselves physically and emotionally."
