Are eyelash curlers harmful?

Monday, January 14th, 2008

No they are not but don’t use everyday. The eyelash curler bends the lashes into a severe angle that is not natural, not to mention the possibility of breaking or pulling them out. If you are going to use a curler be sure that lashes are clear of any mascara. Use a lash curler that offers a thick sponge tip. Squeeze gently, hold for a few seconds and then release the pressure slowly.
