HOW TO GROW LONGER LASHES

HOW TO GROW LONGER LASHES?

What sort of factors affect lash growth?

Topical medications

Some over-the-counter medicines may have prostaglandin analogs, which influence eyelash growth. This component lengthens, thickens, and darkens natural eyelashes, enhancing their appearance.

Cosmetics

Some cosmetics, such as mascara, can cause lash loss, especially when worn for longer. They can also result in eyelid disorders, including infection and dermatitis that reduce lash growth.

What are some of the best methods, ingredients, and products for growing longer, thicker lashes?

Use lash growth products

Various seller stores have lash-growing products to enhance lashes. For instance, lash serums and mascara feature antioxidants and peptides meant for improving lash growth. Aloe Vera with moisturizer offers increased collagen that boosts lash growth. Applying such products can reduce hair loss, leading to thicker and longer lashes.

Supplement

I usually advise my clients to consider supplements, such as biotin and collagen, if they have hair growth issues. The two help grow thicker body hair, starting from the head.

Are there any mistakes that someone trying to grow longer lashes should avoid?

Not washing the face before bedtime

If you sleep with makeup, the chances of damaging your eyelashes increase. Products like mascara stiffen the lashes, raising their proneness to breakage. Please use makeup remover or wipes to clean your face before sleeping. But I prefer washing my face for surety.

Rubbing the eyes

Do you have the habit of rubbing your eyes? Well, doing it vigorously may be damaging to your lashes. Please be cautious and avoid as much as you can.
