    Can kajal cause infection? - Sandhya T, Meenambakkam

    There are dangers associated with it mainly if it is kept on overnight. It can cause the inflammation of eyes and allergies. It is mainly because of the presence of adulteration in cosmetics. When we apply kajal or eye liner our tear glands are blocked, and the lubrication is not good. It causes the user to develop a dry feeling, besides a sense of irritation as well. Allergies can happen either due to prolonged use of kajal - for years together – or if it is left unwashed on a regular basis.
