If the eyes are the window to the soul, eyelashes play a pretty important role in framing, focusing, and protecting your eyes. Everyone wants long, healthy, fluttery lashes, but do you know what to do (and what to avoid) in order to get them? Check out these simple tips on the best lash care, so you can enjoy long and luscious eyelashes naturally.
Tubing Mascara
If you’re finding that one or two (or more) eyelashes are falling out when you remove your eye makeup, it may be worth investing in some tubing mascara. These mascaras are formulated differently, coating each lash in polymer strands rather than ‘painting’ the lashes a different color. To remove tubing mascara, you just need to soak a cotton pad in warm water and hold it over your eye. The mascara should slip off your lashes, reducing the friction and damage caused by makeup remover.
Lash Serum
If you’re concerned that your lashes are losing strength or length, invest in a lash serum. It’s simple to read reviews of these products online, and you can opt for the highest-reviewed serum within your budget once you’ve done a little research. With consistent application of a serum, you should start seeing improvements to your lashes in four to six weeks.
Choose Your Eye Mask Wisely
Many of us choose to sleep with an eye mask at night, to improve sleep quality and block out ambient light. However, if your mask presses down on your lashes at night you may wake up with crooked or bent lashes. Similarly, if the mask is too tight this can lead to lashes falling out. Choose a specially designed mask that provides enough space around your eyes to protect your lashes.
