Ayala Lugo points out that the FDA (Food and Drug Addiction) in the United States considered the false eyelashes together with the adhesives of these cosmetic products and the purpose of these is to try to make the eyes more attractive, without causing any kind of damage.
However, the misuse of false eyelashes and their adhesives could bring risk of infection, allergies or lesions at the level of the eyelids.
Look that kills?
Beauty does not have to pay for health. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) there are three potential dangers in incorrectly fitting false eyelashes:
- Infections of the cornea and eyelids.
- Temporary and permanent loss of the eyelashes.
- Swelling of the eyelids.
To prevent this from happening, the American Academy of Ophthalmology presents the following recommendations:
- Always go to an aesthetic or person with certification.
- Make sure the stylist practices proper hygiene.
- Ask about the ingredients of the adhesives used in the extensions.
- It is not advisable to use them because they can cause damage to natural eyelashes, since removing them can stretch and remove the natural eyelashes.
False eyelashes used are risky because they can trap dust and bacteria and without you they do not have necessary hygiene care can cause infection.
