• Lower Eyelid: Repeat the process for the lower eyelid. Gently pull down the lower eyelid and wipe from the inner corner to the outer corner, cleaning along the lash line.
• Other Eye: Use a new, clean cotton pad or wipe to repeat the process on the other eye. Avoid using the same pad or wipe for both eyes to prevent cross-contamination.
