What to do when your Lashes are Falling Out
It’s not a pretty sight to have your eyelashes falling off. Maybe you’d even begin to see a gap in your lash line, and sure, that’s enough reason to panic. Or not. The thing is, while the loss of hair from lashes and brows can have various causes, most are almost always temporary, and with proper care and treatment, you can get longer and fuller lashes again in no time.
REMOVE MAKEUP BEFORE YOU GO TO BED
You’ve probably been told about this many times and it does deserve constant reiteration. Makeup prevents follicle in your eyes from breathing and can eventually stop hair growth altogether. That’s why you can’t wear it for longer periods of time, especially when you’re asleep. When removing your makeup, ensure you do not tug, rub or pull your eyelashes. Instead, use a cotton with gentle makeup remover, and lightly dab it on your eyes until all your makeup is gone.
STOP USING OLD MAKEUP
Any makeup is ideally used only for 3-6 months. With constant use, your shadow, liner and mascara become prone host to bacteria. The bacteria can cause serious damages to your eyes and prevent eyelash growth. And the longer you use any makeup, the more it gets contaminated with bacteria. Also, consider makeup as your personal belonging–avoid sharing it with others.
INCREASE PROTEIN AND FATTY ACIDS IN YOUR DIET
Ensure you have enough protein and fatty acids in your diet as lack of these two essentials affects hair growth–and that includes your lashes. Try eating more protein-rich food as well as food containing essential fatty acids like soybeans, nuts and cold-water fish.
USE EYELASH GROWTH PRODUCTS
Do eyelash growth products really work? Of course! Many people who have the same woes as you swear by these miracle products, especially the good ones currently in the market. Lash Factory’s Lash Science Lash & Brow Growth Serum, for instance, allows your lash hair to grow in just 3 weeks. The secret is an ingredient called pentapeptides, which are natural rejuvenation compounds that leave lashes full and soft. It’s also free of harsh chemicals and sulfates, that’s why it’s safe to use for even the most sensitive eyes. It even works for your brows too!
