It is recommended to use them within one or two years. There are many kinds of false eyelashes available on the market. In addition to the more popular artificial fibers, there are also horse hair (relatively stiff), mink hair, fox hair, human hair, and various exaggerated bird feathers used for stage makeup.

False eyelashes need to be coated with glue when they are worn, and in order to make the false eyelashes and real eyelashes more fit and natural, some people will also use eyelash curlers, mascara, etc. If you wear false eyelashes to sleep, it is like sleeping with makeup on, which will cause great harm to your eyes. Wearing false eyelashes to sleep can easily affect the cleanliness of your eyelashes. The sweat glands and sebaceous glands at the root of the eyelashes are easily blocked, which affects sweating.

1. Cause the loss of real eyelashes

Wearing false eyelashes for a long time may affect the cleanliness of your eyelashes. Each eyelash is connected to a hair root, which is a channel for expelling foreign matter. There are many sweat glands and sebaceous glands at the root of eyelashes. If you wear false eyelashes for a long time, the sweat pores will be blocked by false eyelashes for a long time, which may affect the sweat discharge of pores. If the false eyelashes themselves are not clean, they are more likely to clog the pores, causing the eyelashes to fall off, and even cause eye inflammation.

2. Weaken the defensive function of your own eyelashes

Wearing too long and thick false eyelashes for a long time will affect the reaction time and reduce the protective function of eyelashes. The eyelids should react instantly, but because false eyelashes are too heavy, the reaction time will be delayed. Experts point out that people who often wear false eyelashes tend to squint and feel uncomfortable.

3. Poor quality false eyelash glue can easily cause eye allergies and inflammation

Most false eyelashes on the market now have very simple packaging. There is almost no factory name, address, or production date on the packaging box, let alone any product instructions. Some also come with glue for attaching false eyelashes, but it smells pungent. Some irregular false eyelash products do have safety and hygiene risks. For example, if the disinfection is not up to standard, it is difficult to remove residual bacteria or other substances, which may cause harm to some sensitive people. In addition, the quality of the glue used to wear eyelashes varies, which may also irritate people's eyes, easily causing redness and burning sensation in the eyes, and even cause eye allergies and induce eye inflammation.

False eyelashes are something that is "too short to hold in the hand and too long to wear on the eyes". Human eyelashes are longest in the middle and slightly shorter on the sides, generally ranging from 5mm to 10mm in length. If you want false eyelashes to look natural, the length should not be too exaggerated, and the width should be suitable for your eye shape. Measure the length and width of the false eyelashes to see if they are suitable. If they are too long, just use a pair of scissors to cut off some. Remember to keep the original curvature when trimming the length, otherwise the eyelashes will look too fake if cut straight. When trimming the width, trim the excessive parts at the beginning and end of the eye respectively, and do not just trim the excess part at one end.
