How to Replace an Eyelash Curler
An eyelash curler needs to be replaced once its pads have worn out. Most eyelash curlers come with two sets of pads: the ones that are already on the curler and an extra set. You cannot buy the pads separately. On average, each eyelash curler pad lasts about six months, but watch for signs that your curler pads need to be replaced. It is important that you change them when needed to avoid damaging your eyelashes or getting an infection. Does this Spark an idea?

Signs that eyelash curler pads need replacing include the pad cracking in half, an extreme build-up of excess makeup, and pad mechanisms squeaking or showing lots of wear and tear.

Check for facial signs that you need to replace the eyelash curler. These include your eyelashes breaking or splitting, and smeared eye makeup on your eyelashes. This latter is bad because the build-up of old makeup on the eyelash curler can cause eye infections. Although you are supposed to clean the curler regularly (after each use, in fact), over time bacteria build-up can lead to eye infections.

Look for eyelash curlers that fit your style. They come with different types of grips, some are larger than others (which works well if you have bigger hands or very long eyelashes), and there are different colors and designs to choose from. An ideal feature to look for is the curved shape of an eyelash curler pad, which creates a padded effect for your lashes and gives them an uplifting shape. Make sure your new eyelash curler comes with an extra set of pads so you can go a full year before having to purchase another one.
