Eyelashes Falling Out?

I get this question every so often at my Swiss Beauty Workshops...

My eyelashes keep falling out. Is this normal? Why does this happen? Is there is anything I can do about it?

Eyelashes fall out normally from time to time, just as hair elsewhere on the body does. But they can also fall out for other reasons. The medical name for this problem is madarosis, and some causes are pretty obvious - such as the way you remove eye makeup. Wiping your eyes too vigorously can pull out a few lashes: better to use an eye makeup remover that does the job without the need for rubbing. In addition, heavy mascara can actually weigh down delicate lashes and cause them to fall out, and the pressure of an eyelash curler can pull them out as well.

Some have a nasty habit of unwittingly pulling out their eyelashes without much thought to the consequences. It is never a good idea to fiddle around with your eyelashes as they take lot longer to grow back than the hairs in other parts of your body.

Other potential causes include eyelid infections from sharing makeup or using a dirty applicator. A thyroid condition (either underactive or overactive) can also be to blame. You also should investigate the possibility of infection with a mite called D. folliculorum, which can cause swelling and inflammation of the eyelash follicles.

If none of these possibilities seem to fit your case, you might consult an eyelid specialist (an oculoplastic surgeon), who should be able to figure out what's going on.
