- Excessive Eye Rubbing – Harsh scrubbing when you remove makeup products or whenever you rub your eyes could be causing eyelashes to fall out.
- Bad Beauty Habits – Leaving eye makeup or mascara on, or using heat products could damage eyelash hair follicles.
- Allergies – An allergic reaction to beauty products and other things could causes eyelash loss.
- Age – Eyelashes naturally thin as a part of the aging process.
