Blow drying your lashes can cause eye damage
Saw @miadeluca do this and needed to try!
However, blow-drying your eyelashes is dangerous.
Despite safety precautions, like only using the cool setting, it can harm your eyes and eyelids.
The forceful air on your eyes dries out your pupils.
According to theNational Eye Institute, dry eyes can cause stinging, burning, and red eyeballs.
It can also impact your sight, leaving you with light sensitivity and blurry vision.
These eye injuries can lead to blindness.
It is similar to a windy day outdoors where dirt, leaves, and anything floating around can attack.
Traditional lash curlers are made from metal and come with replaceable rubber tips.
It just takes a few clamps, and voila.
You’ll have curled lashes without the risk of eye damage.
Lash curlers are typically small and convenient to transport for an on-the-go refresh.
Nowadays, the eyelash curler has received an upgrade.
Rechargeable and battery-powered heated lash curlers are the matrimony of beauty and tech.
They create lashes with more defined curls that last longer.
It’s like how a curling iron beats out hair rollers every time.
The eyelash curler should be warm, not hot, and safe to hold against your skin.
When the temperature checks out, curl away.
No falsies required, no dry eyes just fabulous lashes.
