If you MUST wear eyelash extensions , Dr . Hong recommends that you “ find an accredited lash salon with licensed technicians who pay attention to detail . Some do a great job at separating lashes out and using minimal lash adhesive . Then be sure to GENTLY scrub your eyelids clean daily .”
Better yet ? Consider an eyelash serum instead !
At Key-Whitman , we now prescribe Alphaeon ® Eyelash Serum , a solution that hydrates , conditions and strengthens lashes . Over time , the majority of patients report that their eyelashes appear longer , thicker and more conditioned . Bye bye eyelash dandruff !
What to do when beauty habits DO cause eye health problems
“ Chemicals on or near the eyes can cause dry eye symptoms and may even cause a stinging sensation . Don ’ t neglect these symptoms . Instead , use artificial tears to moisturize the eyes . Simply instill the drop , close your eyes and dab the excess tears away – that way you won ’ t ruin your makeup .
“ If your eyes or eyelids turn red , or you experience eye pain , see an eye doctor right away . In the end , it doesn ’ t matter how good you look if you can ’ t see ,” Dr . Hong says .
