Tips on eyelashes, infections and more

Speaking to Briefly News, Benedict Muzembe stated that the common signs and symptoms of eyelash infection are usually burning or stinging eyes, watery eyes, red and swollen eyelids or itchy eyes.

"So one thing about eyelash infections is that they are sometimes minor because these are usually things that we think are normal or we think the eye is just irritated, yet it’s an infection, and it gets cured very easily as well," she said."

The lash tech said the most common cause of the infection is due to the bacteria around your eyes because they are not "properly washed around your eyes or cleansing your eyelashes, especially when you have extensions on, so the build-up of dirt and bacteria causes infections and most of the first on the eyes comes from eye makeup that is not properly removed," she adds.
