Caring Tips for Thicker, Longer Eyelashes

If the eyes are windows to the soul, then the eyelashes must be the drapes that frame it beautifully! Maintain the strength and healthy growth of eyelashes by these few simple steps:



1. Love dumping a dollop of mascara on your lashes? Have mercy! It's important that you at least lower the frequency of usage. If you're a mascara freak like over 60% of the female population, then you should think twice and put the brush down. Sometimes the cosmetic products you're using may be the culprit in falling lashes.

2. Stop rubbing your eyes. Not only is it bad for the super sensitive skin around the eyes, it could also pull it out.

3.If we could just do away with lash curling, we'd probably see more lash around our eyes. The roots of the lashes are not very strong, and they aren't lodged in as deep inside the dermis of the skin so any pulling action, like frequent use of the curler, can pull it out little by litte.



4. Nourish your eyebrows with eyelash growth creams in the market. There are also some alternative home remedies to eyelash conditioning. Some say a dab of vaseline every night does the trick. Moms believe in the egg white deep conditioning where you put a little egg white on your closed lids and especially on both your lashes.

5. A close inspection should reveal some wear and tear, and other problems like cut eyelashes, some twisted strands and bumps around the ring of your lids. If you see something like that you should stop both curling and putting on mascara for a while. Eyelashes that need extra care should find some relief in a cotton swab dipped in olive oil. Hold a cotton to your eye and gently apply it all over the lashes. Some use q-tips for it as well. Leave the oil overnight.
