For those individuals who find they like the false individual eyelashes and want to continue to wear them, take care. Good technique is very important to avoid damage to the hair follicle or irritation to the tear ducts. Damage can be avoided by applying the lashes  'higher' than your own natural lash line. The directions on the package tell you to apply eyelashes as close to your lash line as possible. This is valid advise for achieving a natural look but it may cause a problem with continuous wear. Try experimenting with the distance from your lash line to find a suitable place to apply the lashes. You want a place that is not too far and not too close to the lash line, and still looks natural. Practice and patience are the keys here. You should also take care with your cleansing routine when wearing the lashes. Use an oil free cleanser, as directed.

When you are no longer wearing your lashes, for whatever reason, try using an eye scrub. An eye scrub, which is sometimes advised by optometrists, can be done using baby shampoo. The first step is to apply a drop of baby shampoo to your finger, then with your eyes loosely closed, gently rub your eyes and eyelid area back and forth with your finger for about thirty seconds. As a final step, rinse your eyes with likewarm water. This procedure helps your eyes feel really clean after eyelash removal, with all traces of adhesive gone. This procedure also helps prevent clogging of the tear ducts. Use a moisturizer made specifically for the eye area to moisturize with.
