Eyelash care. Do we really need something more than a high quality mascara?

Usually, we do not spend too much time wondering about a proper eyelash care. We concentrate on our hair, nails, skin but not on eyelashes. It is high time to change that! Do you know what your eyelashes need in order to grow long, thick and beautiful?

Nose is not the focal point of the face. What we see first are eyes, in which every motion and unspoken words are hidden. Beautifully emphasized eyes is the secret of femininity, that is why so many women use mascaras on a daily basis. However, we tend to forget that conditioning is equally important.

Why and how to care for eyelashes?

If we do not supply the eyelashes with nutrients, vitamins and minerals, their condition will deteriorate. It most frequently results in an eyelash loss and eyelash growth abnormalities.

Mascara cannot work as a remedy for thin and short eyelashes, it can only cover up the issue temporarily. Only conditioner is able to help here. Just keep in mind that a high quality mascara can improve their condition to some extent as well.

A couple of rules for eyelash care:

  • Use makeup removers with gentle formula.
  • Do not rub your eyes when removing makeup because you’ll break your eyelashes.
  • Make sure your diet is rich in vitamins, zinc, silicon, protein, omega acids, etc.
  • Do not use waterproof mascaras too often so as not to load the lashes.

1. Eyelash serum

Those tiny hair around the eyes, which we cover with mascara every day, also need support in the form of a conditioner. Which eyelash serum is the best? Which product is worth investing in?

It is best to rely on opinions, choose the highly recommended ones. Just browse the Internet forums, read through quite a few reviews. A good eyelash conditioner is not only effective but also easy to use, efficient and safe. The most important is the composition, it should not include toxic substances, only those supporting hair growth, regenerating and conditioning. The best are the conditioners with a thin applicator as the product can reach the eyelash bulbs. Still, systematic application is the key.

2. The best mascara

A good mascara should also moisturise our eyelashes. Which is the best one? Which one doesn’t overload our natural eyelashes?

First of all, it is worth to cease using waterproof mascaras, they are difficult to remove and therefore, harmful. These days it is very easy to purchase a durable and non-waterproof mascara. The brush is also important – the best choice is silicone, elastic and hypoallergenic spiral. Finally, the less paraben, alcohol, paraffin the formula contains, the better is the product. Try to pick mascaras with vegetable waxes, mineral pigments, additional oils and extracts. Thanks to this, those ingredients can improve our eyelashes all day.
