BEWARE OF "VOLUME" LASH EXTENSIONS

Image
Since the dawn of lash extensions in the US I have had to grapple with the fact that there are a few bad eggs that give "lash extensions" a bad rep. First there were the salons who were using super glue or industrial tire glue!!! Then there were the salons using .25 x 16mm lashes (enormous).  Now there's a new trend taking over called "volume lashing" otherwise known as 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, 9D,  "Russian" or "Hollywood" lashing. The lash technician will permanently glue multiple lash strands on to an existing natural lash on the customer. I usually joke that this technique was probably developed to mask the amount of natural lashes customers were losing with bad lash extensions over the years! I'm going to break to you folks- if nature did not bless you with long, thick lashes then it's likely you won't be able to handle more than 20% more thickness or weight than your own lash without enduring damage.

PRODUCT ALLERGIES ON THE RISE

Image
  As of late I have been getting LOTS of S.O.S. emails about people having strange skin conditions and reactions. When I go through the list of products the customers are using, the same products keep coming up with the same reactions. For instance there is a popular CE serum, (which I will not disclose the name of ) that seems to cause hives and ruddy skin on a lot of people. The Tocopheral acetate is likely the culprit. Tocopherol Acetate on the skin can be considered toxic and in this formula consistently keeps causing the skin problems on people. This company is not a homemade kitchen company, but a well-respected company in the skincare industry. I just personally never thought the formula was that stable despite the use of E. What most customers don't understand is that aside from properly labeling your skincare product and making sure your product is not using restricted or prohibited ingredients, the FDA is not looking at each and every product on the market.
