National Lash Day

National Lash Day is a holiday dedicated to the health and beauty of eyelashes, as well as the importance of proper and timely care. Eyelashes not only make the eyes more attractive but also serve a crucial protective function, preventing dirt, microbes, and foreign particles from entering the eyes.

History

National Lash Day was first observed on February 19, 2015. The holiday was established by the American company House of Lashes, known for producing eyelash care products and accessories for extensions. The aim was to draw attention to the importance of eyelash health, as well as to promote the company’s products. Since its inception, the day has featured popular master classes and conferences on eyelash extensions and care, especially among cosmetologists and beauty professionals.
