Long and full lashes is one of the eye catching features that a woman can have. Though not everyone is naturally blessed with such features, there are ways to get the beautiful lashes that you desire. This can be as simple as natural lash care or as tedious as getting lash extensions. If you’re looking for ways to enhance your lashes, then here are some basic care tips and tools for longer and fuller lashes.
Lash Care Basics. It doesn’t matter if you are blessed with long and full lashes or not. Just like your hair your eye lashes also need some TLC to look good. At the very least, you should ensure that your eyes are free from eye make-up and mascara before going to bed. Aside from preventing your lashes from getting dry or brittle, this beauty routine also reduces the risk of eye infection. Your eyes can get irritated or infected with make-up residue or impurities when you rub your eyes during sleep.
If you want your lashes to look longer and fuller, then you’ll need to take extra steps. After cleaning the eyes and lashes, apply coconut oil or petroleum jelly before bed to condition the lashes. You can simply rinse the oil off in the morning. Also, brush and curl your lashes gently before going out for a well groomed look. Don’t forget your daily dose of Vitamins C,D,E, and H to help promote hair growth and strengthen hair follicles for fuller lashes. But don’t expect your lashes to grow longer and fuller overnight. As with all things natural, you need to give it time to bloom.
Lash Serums and Conditioners. Aside from natural lash care, there are also eyelash growth products that can help you get longer and fuller lashes much quicker. These are lash conditioners, lash growth mascara, and eyelash growth serums that are especially formulated to give you beautiful lashes. The lash conditioner nourishes and protects the lashes to prevent them from thinning and breaking. On the other hand growth serums promote longer lashes. These two products can be used to complement each other to deliver results that you desire. As with any cosmetic product or serum, make sure that you check the label for ingredients, side effects, and safety warnings.
Falsies and Lash Extensions. No time to grow your lashes for a big day? Just head out to the salon or health and beauty station for some false lashes. These are artificial lashes that you can attach to your natural ones with the help of a lash glue. There are strip lashes and individual volume lashes that can be bought over the counter and applied on your own. However, it takes some skill and practice to apply these lashes perfectly. If you have the time and budget for it then I suggest you opt for lash extensions done by lash professionals. Unlike falsies, lash extension can be worn to bed and can last for several months. But just like natural lashes, you also need to exercise proper lash care for your falsies and extensions.
