False eyelash adhesives can cause allergies

Stating that false eyelashes and eyelash curlers are frequently used for more prominent and impressive looks, Instructor Birgül Erbaş said that "However, improper use of these products can harm eye health. False eyelash adhesives can cause allergies in some people. The strong chemicals in it can cause skin redness, itching and watery eyes. Hypoallergenic products should be preferred, especially for sensitive skin, and should be tried on a small area first."

Improper use can cause eye irritation

Stating that improperly used adhesives can cause eye irritation, infections and eyelash loss. Instructor Birgül Erbaş said, "In addition, incorrect removal can lead to the breakage of natural eyelashes. It is necessary to apply the adhesive only to the eyelash line, not to the inside of the eyelid."

Eyelash curlers aren't innocent either!

Warning about eyelash curling tools, Erbaş stated that “Pressing too hard can cause eyelashes to break. Using it on eyelashes with makeup can lead to breakage of the lashes with the hardening of the mascara. Using it too close to the eyelid can cause skin tightness and irritation. By using your eyelash curler gently and on clean lashes, you can minimize the risk of damage."

Sharing the tool with others can lead to eye infections

Pointing out that the mascara and dirt accumulated in the eyelash curler produce bacteria, Instructor Birgül Erbaş said that "Sharing the tool with others can lead to eye infections. It is important for hygiene to change the tire part regularly and wipe it after each use. It is best to clean the surface of the curler by wiping it with an alcohol cotton. False eyelashes should be wiped with oil-free makeup remover after each use and stored in their own box. Eyelash curlers should be wiped with alcohol wipes once a week, and the elastic part should be changed regularly."

False eyelashes and curlers create a suitable environment for the growth of bacteria and fungi

Stating that false eyelash adhesives and eyelash curling tools can cause microbes to multiply, Instructor Birgül Erbaş continued her remarks as follows:

"False eyelashes and curlers that are not cleaned regularly create a favorable environment for bacterial and fungal growth. This can lead to eye infections, styes, and irritation. Constant use of false eyelashes can lead to weakening, shedding, and thinning of natural lashes. Likewise, using an eyelash curler every day weakens the lash structure and can lead to breakage."

Protect your eye health!

Reminding that to protect eye health, it is necessary to pay attention to hygiene rules, choose the right products and regularly care for the eyelashes when using false eyelashes and eyelash curlers. Instructor Birgül Erbaş said, "You can have beautiful and voluminous eyelashes without risking your eye health."
