Did you know that your eyelashes can be riddled with mites?
Yes, riddled with mites that live off of your eye makeup! Mites are on your lashes , but then you feed them by not removing your eye makeup properly and hey presto they multiply and build their nests in your lash follicle.
The little microscopic “crumbs” they make can get into your eyes and irritate the eyes, and your lash follicle can become infected, and it can even cause you to lose lashes. And you might not even realize this is going on.
They bury themselves inside your lash follicle and lay eggs in there. You can’t see them which is probably a good thing or you’d feel ill!
But trust me if you leave any eye makeup on, they are there! And they live on skin and oil, so they can be on your face as well, devouring your old makeup if you go to sleep with makeup on.
This can sometimes cause break outs from the infection they cause.
