Having beautiful eyes complete with thick eyelashes is the dream of many women. But most women do not have enough time - or patience - to wear false eyelashes or two-three times to review mascara to get tempting plump eyelashes. So, it is not surprising if the trend of planting synthetic eyelashes, aka eyelash extension, as if it never goes out.
However, pairs of eyelash extensions are not risk free. The adhesive used to attach synthetic eyelashes can cause eye irritation even to infection, if you don't take care of your eyes properly. The weight of false eyelashes can also cause your original eyelashes to fall out easily. Check out the following guidelines to treat and protect eye health after installing extension lashes.
Tips to protect eye health after planting eyelash extensions
Basically, you still have to maintain cleanliness and eye health at all times, not only after planting new lashes. Then, what things should be done?
1. Reduce touching eyes
When the extension lashes are firmly installed, there are usually a few things you shouldn't do. The goal is to keep your fake eyelash extensions durable and long lasting. One of them is not to touch the eye area too often, rubbing or even rubbing your eyes hard.
Too often touching the eyes will make your eyelash extension adhesive quickly brittle and fall out. As a result, you have to go back and forth to retouch appearance more often. In addition, touching your eyes risks putting bacteria in your hand into your eye area. Bacterial infections can cause the eyes to turn red and swollen (conjunctivitis). When a bacterial infection attacks the area of the skin around the eyelid, this condition is called blefaritis.
2. Be careful when washing your face
Usually you are advised not to wash your face in the first few hours after planting eyelash extensions. The goal is to make your false eyelashes glue well and not fall out easily. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, it takes at least six hours for your false eyelashes to glue properly. During this time you may not be allowed to wash your face first.
When you can wash your face, avoid washing the area around your eyes for a while. JDon't be tempted to rub your eyes when cleaning your face. Dry slowly by patting the towel in the wet part around the eyes.
3. Immediately see a doctor if irritation occurs
Substances in feather extension adhesives have the potential to cause allergic reactions that can irritate the eyes.
Although cases of allergic reactions to extension eyelashes are rare, you should still be careful, especially if you have allergies to certain chemicals or foreign substances. Be sure to convey the conditions that you have to a beauty therapist who will handle you.
If within a few days after planting false eyelashes you feel uncomfortable around your eyes and allergy symptoms appear or infections such as itching, redness, or swelling, consult a doctor immediately.
