In the days leading up to your surgery it's no problem at all. But before surgery make sure you take a shower, wash your face, and don't put any face/eyelid/eyelash makeup on and certainly no moisturizers on the face or anywhere near your eyes. No perfume or extremely fragrant body sprays either (these have a theoretical effect on the output of the laser, although the data on this is not very clear). Use artificial tears a couple times per day leading up to surgery to make sure the corneas are nice and lubricated! good luck!-Lee Katzman MD
You may wear make up and lotion the days leading up to procedure. However, I would recommend staying away from products around the eye area the day of the procedure to avoid possible infections.
