Do Eyelash Curlers Damage Eyelashes?

22.09.2021

With the correct use of an eyelash curler, this beauty tool can be used every day. What do you need to remember in order not to harm your eyelashes?

What do Bambi the fawn and Audrey Hepburn have in common? We are sure that first of all, you remembered their wide-open and curled eyelashes. To achieve such an effect, even with the most modest initial data, a curler will help in this - a special tool for curling eyelashes. Outwardly, it looks quite scary, but in fact, if you know some rules, everything turns out to be quite simple and, most importantly, safe for eyelashes.

DO NO HARM!

The eyelash curler should be executed neatly and not have sharp edges and other defects that can damage the eyelashes or the delicate skin of the eyelids. To do this, before using the curler, be sure to slide your finger along the edge of the plate, and also make sure that the curler mechanism ensures smooth movement of the plates.

All actions should be as careful and unhurried as possible. One awkward movement and your eyelashes may remain on the tongs. If you handle it carefully, you can curl your eyelashes every day with a curler.

Change the curler's rubber inserts regularly, especially if you notice any grooves or cracks on them.

THE ORDER OF ACTIONS

1) Position the eyelash curler at a 45-degree angle so that the top plate rests on the movable eyelid as close to the lashes as possible.

2) Without lifting the instrument from the eyelid, move it to an almost horizontal position so that the eyelid and eyelashes rise upward.

3) Squeeze the curler handles and hold for a few seconds. Without lifting the plates from the upper eyelid, unclench the forceps and lift the handles higher to move the clip to the middle of the eyelashes. Hold the tongs and hold for a few seconds. It is important that the curler remains pressed against the eyelid to prevent damage to the eyelashes.

4) Repeat the previous step, working your way up to the tips of the lashes. With each new movement, the clamping force should be reduced, since the eyelashes are denser at the roots and thinner at the tips.

HOT STYLING

If you want to achieve a more lasting effect, heat the curler with a hairdryer: the main thing is that its temperature is comfortable for you (it should not be scalding hot!). However, we do not recommend using this method every day.

THE PERFECT COUPLE

A much more gentle option to prolong the effect of curled eyelashes is to choose a similar mascara that will reliably fix the result.

  • Although it is safe to use the curler on a daily basis, do not forget about additional eyelash care. Use firming oil blends or special serums. Apply them a few hours before bed to help them absorb.
  • Remember that care is needed not only for the eyelashes but also for the curler. Clean it from makeup regularly and monitor the condition of the rubber insert.
