BLEACHING YOUR TEETH: Hydrogen peroxide is used in most teeth whitening products (professional and at home). This can cause changes to tooth enamel, making it weaker and increase sensitivity. While teeth whitening is not permanent, the harmful effect on your teeth will be.

LASH EXTENSIONS: Lash extensions can seem like a miracle product. They visually thicken and lengthen your real lashes. BUT – lashes have to be applied using semi-permanent glue, with touch ups every 3-4 weeks. The bad news is that you can suffer hair loss of your natural eyelashes, develop an irritation or infection due to the glue or bacteria that your extensions can catch.

As with all beauty rituals, carefully consider the benefits versus the consequences! Most likely, the short term benefits won’t justify the long-term damage.
