What Is the Impact of Hair Dye, Botox, and Eyelash Extension on Candida?

by Eric Bakker N.D.

Sometimes clients worry that being exposed to certain chemicals contributes to Candida infection. For example, I had one patient ask me if she should avoid Botox, eyelash extension, and hair dye.

My short answer to her question was that I don’t see these kinds of procedures as contributing to Candida. Instead, I recommended that my patient focus on more important factors such as her diet, her intake of alcohol, and the amount of sugar she eats.

I know that in the past, hair dyes were full of toxic chemicals. However, nowadays, hair dyes are much more natural. I don’t have the concerns about hair dye that I would have had years ago.

Similarly, I don’t see Botox or eyelash extension as being linked to Candida whatsoever.
