Ultra-long, thick eyelashes are undeniably in vogue, but are they truly worth the expenseโ€”and more importantly, the risk to your health? While eyelash extensions can enhance your look, the potential health hazards they pose are anything but pretty.

๐Ÿ‘ Natural eyelashes protect our eyes from bacteria, viruses, and debris, keeping them lubricated and safe. However, eyelash extensions can cause serious issues:

- Keratoconjunctivitis: Over 60% of women reported inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva from eyelash adhesive.
- Allergic Reactions: 40% experienced allergic reactions to the glue.
- Toxic Glue: Some adhesives contain formaldehyde, a carcinogen. Studies found that 75% of professional glues and several consumer glues release this harmful chemical.
- Blepharitis: The most common complication is inflammation or irritation of the eyelids.

Despite their beauty, eyelash extensions can pose severe health risks. Itโ€™s crucial to weigh the potential health risks. Eyelash extensions may seem like a harmless beauty enhancement, but the reality is they can pose serious threats to your eye health and overall well-being. Proceed with caution and consider the risks before deciding if they are truly worth it.
