Beautiful eyelashes can make all the difference for any eye shape and should be a primary focus when applying makeup. After all, eyes are the windows to the soul.
But is your makeup routine doing any good for your eyelashes? What type of mascara do you use? How much do you really do for your eyelashes? Like many, your answer is probably, “not much.” You may want to rethink the time you spend taking care of your lashes. As we age, our lashes take a hit. Your daily routine can minimize and prevent your lashes from thinning.
Eyelashes as you Age
We’re born with a certain number of hair follicles. And although this number does not change, the rate at which they grow slows down. You may have noticed that your eyelashes are not as full as they once were, and that is precisely the reason why. It is very possible that some eyelash follicles will stop producing new ones completely. Don’t freak out just yet. Here are some tips that will help the growth cycle and delay eyelash loss.
Reverse Eyelash Damage
There isn’t a magic pill that will prevent you from aging but there are plenty of ways you can prevent your eyelashes from thinning.
Pay attention to your cleansing routine. Don’t rub your eyes excessively while removing makeup. Take your time when you are cleaning your face, especially when wiping off your eye makeup. Use warm water and quality face cleansing products.
Skip the fake eyelashes. The eyelash glue can do some serious damage to your eyes, especially if you are regularly applying fake eyelashes. Eyelash extensions are just as harmful. The wear-and-tear process can cause eyelashes to fall out permanently. Try to limit their use or try other alternatives. There are many gel-based mascara options that you can find at Sephora. Younique Makeup offers 3D Fiber Lash Mascara that can help you avoid the damage associated with applying fake lashes.
Wash your face before bed. Sleeping in mascara dries out your lashes and makes them brittle. To help with dry brittle lashes, try Younique 3D Fiber Lash Mascara. Younique mascara is water resistant but easily washes off with warm water and facial cleanser at the end of the day. In addition to combining transplanting gel and natural fibers, Younique 3D Lashes are made with green tea fibers that attach to your lashes, making them longer and fuller.
Pay attention to makeup ingredients. This does not just ring true for mascara, but also your makeup products in general. The damage could be a result of poor ingredients in your other eye care products, eye shadow and eyeliner. Younique Glorious Face & Eye Primer has naturally based ingredients, free of parabens, oils, synthetic fragrances, and cheap fillers. Younique’s Moodstruck Mineral Pigment Powders are 100% natural, chemical-free and mineral-based pigment powders. Younique mascara also contains natural ingredients. These are a few of the ingredients that can be found in Younique 3D Fiber Lash Mascara that you should keep an out for before purchasing makeup products:
Collagen – a type of protein that works with elastin to give skin its texture, structure, and appearance. It contains antioxidants, and may help add volume and shine to the appearance of eyelashes.
Water (Aqua) – hydrates and cleanses the skin, and works as a natural spreading component, helping to distribute other ingredients evenly over the skin.
Beeswax (Natural Propolis) – a brownish, resinous material collected by bees and believed to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Stearic Acid (Palmitic Acid) – an organic nutrient derived from palm trees that is often used to soothe and soften the skin.
Ultimately, regardless of your makeup product choices, be aware of the ingredients and pay close attention to your daily routine. Most importantly, be diligent and consistent about your eye care regimen.
Happy Makeup Hunting,
