👀 What is the Difference Between MINI EYELID SCRUB MITT and EYELID SCRUB MITT?

 

 

 

As an optometrist dedicated to promoting optimal eye health, I’m excited to share insights on two popular eye care tools available at We Love Eyes: the MINI EYELID SCRUB MITT and the EYELID SCRUB MITT. Both products are designed to enhance eyelid hygiene, but they serve different needs and preferences. Let’s dive into the details and find out which one might be right for you!

 

Key Features and Differences

Here are the primary differences between the two products:

 

• Size & Coverage:
  • MINI EYELID SCRUB MITT (50mm x 48mm): Compact design (40% smaller) for more targeted cleaning, especially for smaller eye sockets and deep set eyes.
  • EYELID SCRUB MITT (68mm x 70mm): Larger surface area that offers a more comprehensive cleaning experience, ideal for eyes and face.

 

• Material & Fibers:
  • Both versions have the same material and texture: medical grade, BPA-free, anti-microbial silicone in the same spacing between fibers 😊
  • The smaller mitt may feel more soft due to the different handle on the back side.
    
  • Both work for eyelid hygiene, removing water based eye makeup (just add some warm water with foaming cleanser), and work to gently physically exfoliate peri-ocular milia.  
• Portability:
  • MINI EYELID SCRUB MITT: Its small size makes it perfect for travel or on-the-go eye care.
  • EYELID SCRUB MITT: Better suited for home use where a larger cleaning tool is preferred.
• Usage Scenarios:
  • The MINI version is ideal for kids, deep set eyes, and for those that want very precise cleansing on the eyelash line. 
  • The standard mitt is recommended for a more broad cleaning session (eyes and face), especially for those who wear heavy makeup.
  • Both for gentle exfoliation to improve and prevent the appearance of milia.

When to Choose Which?

Making the right choice depends on your lifestyle and eye care routine:

• If you travel frequently, the MINI EYELID SCRUB MITT is a convenient option.
• If you want an eyes & face scrub, the EYELID SCRUB MITT is ideal.
• For kids, small eyes, deep set eyes - the mini mitt is more ideal.

Additional Eye Care Tips

To maximize your eye health, consider these extra tips:

• Make it an Eye Care Routine: Consistent eyelid hygiene can prevent issues like blepharitis and styes.
• Be gentle: Always use light, circular motions when cleaning your eyelids to avoid irritation.
• Consult your optometrist: If you experience persistent irritation, consult with an optometrist.
• Wash the mitt after each use with your eyelid & eyelash foaming cleanser and let air dry on a clean towel between uses.
