Blinding Sensuality: The False Eyelash Problems
The popularity of makeup artists on social networks has also brought the trend of using a frequent aid to increase the opening of the gaze, that is, false eyelashes.
It is a fact that makeup gets more eye-catching and strong colors that tend to lower our eyes, such as purple, are displaced by the thickness and blackness of the eyelash extensions.
Although these image benefits are incredible and dreamed of by all girls, today we will show you that there are some negative points of their constant application, which can bring you serious problems in your eye health. Stay to find out more!
The idea of having more eyelashes becomes a mirage
Eyelash extensions are classified as an essential tool in makeup, especially on those occasions that are called more "dramatic" moments, such as night events. Said addition of professional makeup, they are made with silk or synthetic fabric.
Generally, the function that false eyelashes perform is that the look has stretched, strong eyelashes, and they achieve volume to look from more crowded to darker.
They highlight our eyes and make a lightening effect towards our iris; because the long extensions work as a beautiful presentation curtain.
However, there seems to be no improvement in the health of our natural eyelashes for their growth, much less increasing their thickness through the constant application and maintenance of eyelash extensions.
Instead of the cases explained, natural lashes tend to become thin, brittle and lighter.
Consequently, most understand that "you could only have dreamy lashes by reattaching lash extensions." Falling into a vicious cycle.
Fanaticism: the triggering factor
Women see eyelash extensions, in the same way that we see putting on false nails or fixing our hair. These three beauty routines are the most common for women from adolescence onwards.
This trend has gained more strength since 2000 and the evolutions of treatments have not stopped appearing, which keeps many followers on the lookout.
As in any case, there is a part of the population that, due to the high prices to apply any of these treatments, and the influence of the ease of learning with a YouTube tutorial, increases the enthusiasm of being self-taught, that is, learning without need to go with a certified professional.
This small saving that they make, can sometimes cost much more than expected, the possible reactions that you have with the application of this type of extensions are almost unimaginable.
In many countries such as Korea, it is necessary and requested to open or offer one of these eyelash applications, the certification of the staff or person who is practicing. But this does not happen in everyone.
Inexperienced hands are one of the factors that do the most damage in the application, and these same ones come as a consequence of the fanaticism of false eyelashes.
Reactions to acrylates
Although inexperienced hands can be the cause of most incidents, regarding eyelash extensions, the glue with which these small points of synthetic hair are placed contains ingredients that are called acrylates.
These ingredients, if they get into the eye, can cause allergic reactions, especially in people with sensitive eyes. In this way, the effect on contact to the sensitive skin of the eyelid will also cause swelling or itching of the skin.
Much has been said about acrylates in various meetings of ophthalmologists or dermatologists, both professions show great concern for these ingredients, present in eyelash extension glues and also glues for the application of false nails.
Experts have come to the conclusion that a single reaction to the contact of these ingredients will be enough to have an influenced reaction, causing you to have allergies with other glues used in medicine, be it surgical glues or glues used in dentistry.
This means that a bad application of the glue, or a glue itself, can cause future discomfort in other necessary aspects of health.
Sometimes reactions can be late
Infections or inflammations caused by these ingredients may appear immediately during application, or when you finish placing all the glue points in the indicated part.
Although it has been seen cases in which the reactions take months or even years to appear, after the application of false eyelash glues, the affected people do not even imagine that the extensions were the cause of their condition.
Until of course, a specialist analyzes it and reaches the indicated conclusion. For this reason, the concern of experts in the field regarding this trend is understandable.
Natural eyelash loss
The loss of natural eyelashes is influenced by the glue and also by the extensions themselves. As we know, synthetic eyelashes will last you at least a month, if you take good care of them.
This duration can vary both by the product and with your daily routine, but the truth is that at some point the extensions will fall out.
This results in some cases where the lashes are only slightly stuck together, held up by a string of glue, and perhaps obstructing your vision. In this situation, most of the girls leave by the decision to undo them by themselves, and they pull it with their fingers, which can also bring about natural lash plucking.
In other cases, the same natural eyelash does not support the weight of the extension, and it succumbs to gravity. Your eyelash may grow back, as it may not lengthen again due to the weakening of the hair follicles.
Corneal damage
This case is one of those that we can call unimaginable, since more than half of the population fanatical of these trends, do not imagine themselves in this situation or in dreams.
False eyelashes, if they are large or lengthened, can cause from drooping of the eyelid to eye infections by keeping germs in synthetic hairs.
In other words, false eyelashes work like a nest of bacteria, if we are not careful not to apply mascara, and we forget to remove the makeup around the eye well.
Damage to the cornea can be the product of falling eyelashes, very long extensions that bother the eyeball with their tip, or infections that are not treated in time and turn into conjunctivitis or more serious damage such as scratches or holes in the cornea.
Which could seriously blind or blur your vision temporarily, or it could be even more serious. If you have a problem you should consult the ophthalmologist quickly.
How to remove false eyelashes in a good way?
The concern that this information leaves will make you ask yourself this question if you currently have false eyelashes applied, or in that case, you want to apply eyelash extensions for a special event.
It is advisable to remove false eyelashes, is that you let them fall by themselves, but patience sometimes is not a good friend of all. Therefore, try to dilute the glue from the application with warm water.
In that case it doesn't work, and instead you feel like you have to pull hard to separate them from your eye, then see a stylist to help you finish off the glue.
Remember that the important thing is to take care of yourself and your face. There are many girls who have had this same episode and have stress or depression due to the side effects of removing eyelash extensions.
You have to be very careful, as this means that it will not only bring you physical problems, but also psychological ones. Always try to go to a professional, and try to take better care of your eyelashes to achieve a blinding look naturally, without harming your health.
