The Harmattan season can be tough on our eyes, but we can keep them bright and healthy with a little care. Follow these simple DIY tips to protect your eyes from the dust and dry air during this challenging time.
1. Protect Your Eyes:
Grab a pair of cool sunglasses or those snug wrap-around goggles. Not only will you look fabulous, but you’ll also keep the irritating dust away.
2. Always Wash Your Hands:
Don’t forget to wash those hands! A good scrub with soap and water will help keep bacteria and viruses at bay, lowering the risk of Pink Eye.
3. Keep Your Hands Off Your Eyes:
We all do it – rubbing our eyes when they feel tired. But during Harmattan, it’s best to resist the urge. Clean hands are happy eyes.
4. Drink Water:
Stay hydrated to keep those eyes moist and happy. A well-hydrated body means less chance of dry, irritated eyes.
5. Artificial Tears:
Give your eyes some love with preservative-free artificial tears. It’s like a spa day for your eyes.
6. Keep Your Bed Clean and Fresh:
Swap out those bedsheets regularly. Clean linens mean less exposure to potential eye irritants.
7. Take A Break From The Lens:
– If you rock the contact lenses, give your eyes a break. Consider it a vacation for your peepers.
8. Cleaningness Is Next To Godliness:
– Keep your living spaces clean and cozy. Regular dusting will help you and your eyes breathe easier.
