AN EYE doctor has opened up about the three make-up trends she would not follow under any circumstances.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dr Alexa Hecht maintains that there are certain things that are considered trendy that she isn\u2019t a fan of, as she revealed the reason behind each of her no-gos in her expert opinion.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
And it seems there\u2019s plenty that has made it onto the banned list created by Alexa, who is based in Toronto in Canada.<\/p>\n
First up, the professional revealed why she wouldn\u2019t be booking herself for an eyelash treatment anytime soon.<\/p>\n
Alexa, who can be found on TikTok via her profile @dr.alexhecht, said: \u201cNumber one \u2013 I would never get a lash lift or lash tint.<\/p>\n
She explained: \u201cBoth of these procedures use very toxic chemicals, including ammonium, which is toxic to the tissues in the eye, and can cause serious infections if it enters the eye.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Alexa then added to her 50.4k followers on the social media site: \u201cAlso, it just looks so uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her second hot take was about something similarly popular with make-up and beauty fans – waterproof mascara.<\/p>\n
Alexa continued: \u201cNumber two \u2013 I wouldn\u2019t use waterproof mascara every day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWaterproof mascara uses forever chemicals, which do not dissolve in our tears and can lead to irritation and dry eye.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n She then went on to say waterproof mascara was best avoided, as they could also lead to long-term eyelash problems down the line.<\/p>\n The social media user claimed: \u201cSome of these chemicals can actually cause your eyelashes to become more brittle and even break off.\u201d<\/p>\n And there is another item of make-up that\u2019s strictly off limits for the eye doctor.\u00a0<\/p>\n She lifted the lid, as she said: \u201cI wouldn\u2019t use super glittery eye make-up.\u201d<\/p>\n Waterproof mascara uses forever chemicals, which do not dissolve in our tears and can lead to irritation and dry eye<\/p>\n Why? Alexa claimed while it might look pretty, it won\u2019t always be that way.<\/p>\n She said in her TikTok video: \u201cGlitter can cause tiny little scratches on the front surface of the eye, causing irritation and infection.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n This follows another video of Alexa\u2019s where she also warned other people against getting eyelash extensions.<\/p>\n In the clip, which has been liked over 70k times, she claimed that she\u2019d seen cases where the eyelash roots were covered in mounting bacteria \u2013 and even mites.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alexa concluded: \u201cEven if you\u2019re cleaning these every day, you still have a higher risk of having bacteria on your eyelashes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Fabulous will pay for your exclusive stories.
