Luck of the Lash

How to keep your eyes and lashes healthy when using mascara.

A healthy lash is a happy lash. And the easiest way to keep your lashes healthy, happy, and all-around luscious, is to replace your mascara. Replacing your mascara every 2-3 months is essential for keeping your eyes healthy. Over time, bacteria can build up inside the tube, increasing the risk of eye infections like styes or pink eye. Old mascara also dries out, making it clumpy and harder to apply smoothly.

When your mascara starts flaking, it can cause irritation and even get into your eyes. The preservatives in the formula only last so long, so after a few months, it’s less effective at staying fresh and germ-free. If you notice changes in texture, smell, or performance, it’s time to toss it. By using fresh mascara, you’ll get smoother applications and avoid potential eye issues. Regularly replacing your mascara keeps your beauty routine safe and effective, while protecting your eyes from unnecessary irritation.
