Love your lashes? Beware of lash lice!

Optometrists have now issued a warning relating to an apparent rise in cases of lash lice, known more formally as Demodex.

Yes, you read right, lice, on your lashes!

So what are the symptoms of Demodex? Itchiness, redness, and inflammation - and just like usual lice, they can be transferred from person to person by 'jumping'. Aaaaaaaaaaah!

So, ladies, when was the last time you cleaned your lashes? Try to clean your lashes with a tea-tree based cleaner (your lashes won’t fall out, don’t be afraid to touch them, you need to clean them).

And, ladies, it’s not a bad idea to give your eyes a break from lashes from time to time. You may even like the natural you ♥
