  • Eyelash Mites & The Supermodel Who Never Blinked

    Eyelash Mites & The Supermodel Who Never Blinked
    Dec 4 2025
    If you thought your biggest lash problem was clumpy mascara… buckle up. Because today, the Oh Gross! crew uncovers the horrifying-but-also-hilarious truth that tiny microscopic spiders basically live rent-free on your face. Yes. Right now. As you read this. Kara, Jennie, and Molly kick things off with the viral eyelash-mite headlines… but things really take a turn when Kara calls her celebrity lash artist Jayron, who drops an unforgettable story about a very famous supermodel. This mystery icon kept her eyes wide open for four straight hours—Clockwork Orange–style—scrolling Instagram while getting her lashes done. No blinking. No breaks. Full horror-movie energy. And then Jayron casually adds, “Oh yeah, everyone has mites,” sending the girls into a total meltdown. Then ophthalmologist Dr. Allen Yeroushalmi joins to deliver the real science: • Nearly 100% of people are colonized by age 70 • Crusty lash buildup can include dead skin, mite shells, and yes… mite poop • Mites can worsen dry eye, blepharitis, styes, and contact lens irritation • Cleaning your lashes gently—not aggressively—is key Come laugh, cringe, and rethink your entire nighttime routine.
