Revealed: The beauty and health risks of false eyelashes!

During the Chinese New Year, many women will choose to do a "three-piece" beauty ritual: perming, manicure, and eyelash extensions. In order to welcome the arrival of the new year, this pursuit of beauty is particularly necessary. Seeing those long, curled and beautiful eyelashes can really make people's eyes bright and add to the charm of the eyes. However, do you know the types of false eyelashes and their effects on the eyes?

Types of false eyelashes

There are two main types of false eyelashes. One is to glue false eyelashes, which is to use glue to stick false eyelashes on real eyelashes. However, this method is not very durable and is easy to fall off after washing your face. The other is to graft eyelashes, which is to attach false eyelashes to real eyelashes one by one. The effect is natural and can last for 2 to 6 weeks. Although the price is slightly higher, its beauty effect is worth the investment. In addition, magnetic eyelashes have recently appeared, which can be fixed on the eyelids without glue, which is very convenient.

Is it healthy to use false eyelashes?

In fact, false eyelashes are not completely harmless. Long-term contact with glue and chemical ingredients may cause damage to the eyes, especially those low-quality false eyelashes and glue may contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde, lead and benzoic acid. Long-term use may cause lead poisoning, dry eyes, keratoconjunctivitis and blepharitis.

Therefore, although false eyelashes can add beauty, we still need to pay attention to the health of our eyes. Choose regular products and try to avoid long-term use. If you feel uncomfortable, you should remove the false eyelashes in time and consult a doctor. In addition, you must be particularly careful when using false eyelashes. Improper operation may cause problems such as bleeding in the white of the eye or damage to the hair follicles.

At the same time, although the magnetic false eyelashes on the market are convenient, they may cause eye allergies, block the meibomian glands or hair follicles, and even interfere with magnetic resonance imaging.

Cherish your eyes and reduce the use of false eyelashes

For the health and beauty of our eyes, we should pay attention to the following points: use false eyelashes as little as possible, choose regular beauty medical institutions and high-quality products, avoid using them for customers with a history of eye diseases or allergies, remove makeup thoroughly, do not wear false eyelashes all day, and remove false eyelashes before an MRI examination.

Let us cherish our eyelashes, protect the health of our eyes, and welcome a beautiful new year!
