Lid & Lash Hygiene: It Matters

When it comes to eye health, daily lid and lash hygiene is can easily be overlooked—but it’s one of the most important steps in keeping your eyes comfortable and your vision clear. Healthy eyelids support stable tear production, reduce irritation, and help prevent conditions like blepharitis, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), and Dry Eye Disease—which affects nearly 1 in 3 New Zealanders, particularly women.
Lid and lash hygiene is essential for managing dry eye disease, blepharitis, and MGD. It also plays a key role in contact lens comfort and keeping lashes healthy and looking their best. However, many people unknowingly use skincare, makeup, and lash treatments that worsen how their eyes feel, and potentially look.

The range launched with Lid & Lash Cleansers—designed to soothe dry eyes, improve contact lens comfort, and support lash health.
