Do you have beautiful, long eyelashes? What you may be at risk for...

If you’ve got long, lush lashes - you probably have allergies too...

A recent study looked at children and found that the longer the lashes, the more likely they were to suffer from allergies or asthma. Experts say that long lashes are considered a phenotype, or characteristic, of children and adolescents prone to allergies.

Regardless of your lash length, they are super pollen catchers. Now that allergy season is in full swing, it’s a good idea to wipe lashes gently with a damp cloth a few times each day. Allergists recommend washing lashes with baby shampoo at night before bed.
