Dangers of False Eyelashes

Fake eyelashes are nothing new; for decades beauty queens, celebrities and models have been using fake eyelashes and eyelash extensions to enhance their natural beauty. But all aesthetic benefits aside, there are some real risks associated with fake eyelashes.

ALLERGIC AND ADVERSE REACTIONS

The fake lashes or other materials used to attach the lashes can cause adverse reactions to the skin and eyes. Even the slightest eye irritation can cause eye damage and can sometimes cause loss of sight. There are numerous cases wherein the adhesive used to attach the fake lashes caused allergic reactions that make the eyelids swell and cause redness of the eyes.This is by far the most common among the side effects of having fake lashes. 

HYGIENE RISK

According to experts, false eyelashes are a considerable hygiene risk because they tend to trap dirt and bacteria. These harmful particles usually cause irritation to the eyelids and eyes. Natural eyelashes protect the eyes from dust, foreign materials and sweat, while low-quality and unhygienic false eyelashes usually cause irritation and infection. This is probably the most dangerous out all the side effects of having fake lashes as infection may result to blindness.

DAMAGE TO NATURAL LASHES

The improper attachment of fake lashes can damage the natural lashes. The extra pressure caused by the false lashes can also cause damage to the hair follicles, stopping eyelash growth temporarily or permanently.
