How Much Eyelash Loss Is Normal?
Its perfectly normal to lose a few lashes every day.
Just like the hair on your scalp, your eyelashes follow a natural growth cycle, which includes shedding.
This is part of the natural process that allows new lashes to grow in.
Pooja Rambhia, MD, FAAD, a board-certified dermatologist, agrees.
Here are some common causes of extreme lash loss.
This can traumatize the lash follicles and cause premature lash loss, Dr. Rambhia says.
Poor Hygiene
Another common cause of eyelash loss is blepharitis, which is inflammation affecting the eyelid.
Blepharitis typically accompanied by swelling, redness, and persistent crusties.
When using falsies, check that to follow product label instructions for proper removal.
Poor Eyelash Curler Use
Improper use ofeyelash curlersis another major culprit of excessive lash loss.
Similarly, old curlers with worn-out pads can crimp and break lashes.
Keeping a more balanced, nutritional diet can help quite a bit.
And dont forget your daily multivitamin!
