If you don't take of your mascara, is it bad for you?

Question

I've heard that it can a) age your skin and b) weaken or make your eyelashes fall off. But I went through a period of 6 monthes where I just got waaaaay too lazy to take of my mascara and it seemed like I had more eyelashes and they didn't fall off as much. Does anyone know for sure!?


If they do make them brittle, would putting on one of those conditioning mascaras help to get rid of that problem?

Answer 1

It probably seemed like you had more lashes because of the build-up that doesn't come off without remover or soap. But, even if it all doesn't fall off, flakes of mascara will get in your eyes and possibly cause infection. I don't believe that leaving mascara on will age your skin in any way, but it WILL damage your lashes in the long run and cause them to fall out more than they would normally. Conditioning mascara won't help either because all that will dry on and build up too. It only conditions temporarily.

Answer 2

i don't know if it's bad for your eyelashes, but i know that any eye makeup you leave on at night has the potential to get into your eyes and cause problems or infections in your eyes.
