5 Ways You’re Damaging Your Lashes
Avoid these five things to give your lashes an instant turnaround.
1) Lash Extensions
- Heavy lash extensions can weigh down on your natural lashes, increasing the chance of shedding
- If the high-strength glues used in lash extensions aren’t applied correctly, they can also damage your natural lashes
- But don’t worry, if you’ve got extensions and you want to get rid of them, check out our extension removal guide
2) Dirty Eyelash Curlers
- Over time, old makeup, mascara and even stray lash hairs can accumulate on your curler, which provides a breeding ground for bacteria
- Bacteria can damage the hair follicles at the base of your lash line, so make sure you clean your curler regularly
- It’s also helpful to know whether you should be using your curler before or after applying makeup and mascara, find out here
3) Rubbing Your Eyes Often
- By generating friction along your lash line, you can damage the roots of your lashes
- The more you rub therefore, the more likely your lashes are to shed prematurely
4) Dirty Falsies
- Many falsies can be reused multiple times, which is great for the planet and for your wallet
- However, in order to reuse them you need to keep them clean
- Reusing falsies which are caked in old makeup or mascara will allow bacteria to spread and that in turn will damage your lashes
5) Poor Curling Technique
- Curlers are wonderful little inventions but it’s important that they’re used correctly
- If you are rough on your lashes when using your curler, if you tug or pull, there’s a risk that your lashes could be damaged or break
