What are the Potential Dangers of False Eyelashes?

• Increased Eye Sensitivity

When you constantly use falsies, the hair follicle becomes more sensitive. It can cause the lashes to stop from growing again. This can cause the lash to look more bare and sparse. Normally, healthy eyelashes grow 15 mm a day. However, this rate can become slower if the hair follicles are traumatized.

• Unhygienic

Eyelashes don’t just serve an aesthetic purpose, but they also help protect the lashes from dirt and other foreign materials. Wearing falsies negate this effect. False eyelashes do the opposite as it accumulates dirt and bacteria. This can even be more dangerous if one sleeps with false eyelashes on.

•  You can Pull out your Real Lashes, too

When attaching fake eyelashes, you will use an adhesive. Using an adhesive can be dangerous to your real lashes if you accidentally pull them out when you take off the falsies. Removing false eyelashes should be done accurately to ensure that the real assets are unaffected. Eyelashes normally shed at an average of 2 to 3 lashes a day. Don’t speed up the process.

• Can Cause Allergic Reaction

When the false eyelashes are made of materials that you are allergic to, this can cause a severe reaction that poses extreme dangers. This can cause itchiness and irritation to the user. Oftentimes, it also causes the skin around the eyes to swell.
