For Halloween, a fancy celebration or when the mood just calls, false eyelashes are a fun way to upgrade your look. But as an everyday stick-on? Natural skin care expert Debbi Burns says it's dangerous for the durability of your lashes. "What's causing women to lose their lashes and have them not grow out is putting all of those toxic glues in the fake eyelashes. These actually pull out some of your eyelashes and if you don't keep putting them on, you tend to have fewer eyelashes," she says.

Consider mascara wands.
To avoid infection and serve as a way to apply moisturizer, oils or other remedies, consider purchasing throw-away mascara wands that limit bacteria. This inexpensive way to keep your eyes super-clean can be the difference between long, lush lashes and ones that feel stunted. Much like you'd take care of any other part of your face, why not give the same TLC to your eyes? "It's important to be careful about what you put on your lashes as it does go into your eyes," Burns shares.
