Your eyelashes can age too! Our Expert Tips to Fabulous, Young-Looking Eyelashes

What aging could do to your eyes

As with all anti-aging strategies, it is important to begin early. Dr. Wu states that losing lashes or lash pigment can make it much more difficult to get them back. It is essential to include lash care in your daily skin-care routine to maintain healthy lashes. Dr. Wu states that lash growth is most prominent in the twenties, and even later. Our eyes look larger, more attractive, and brighter because of this. Our estrogen levels decrease, typically around our 40s. As a result, our lashes get shorter and lighter. This can make our eyes look smaller and tired. You should take care of your lashes from this point. You will look younger with full lashes.

This is the most important part Lash care

This is the most important thing that you can do. Take off all of your makeup every night, including your eye makeup. Reiss-Andersen states that it is a sin not to remove eye makeup, especially mascara. Reiss-Andersen states that mascara can dry out your eyelashes, making them brittle and falling out. They should be treated the same as your hair.

On lash conditioners & lash curlers

If you're guilty of skipping the remover, Dr. Wu recommends that you only use the right products. Dr. Wu says "lash conditioners can help prevent breakage." There are many choices on the market, including one that Jane Iredale and Tarte can use. These tubes look similar to mascara. They contain a mix of moisturizing and peptide ingredients as well as proteins. Look for gentle ingredients like coconut oil, vitamin E, chamomile extract, and vitamin E. There is no one formula that works for everyone. Ask your dermatologist for advice on three DIY lash conditioners. Your secret ingredient might be there! These lash conditioners can be used in a few minutes. Apply them each night before going to bed. Your lashes will become less brittle after a few weeks. If you're looking for natural products, a mostly natural mascara with more hydration may be a good choice. We love ILIA's four colors.

It is a bad idea not to push your lash curler too hard. Over-pumping your lash curler could cause damage to the lashes.

The mascara that works every time

Fake it till you make it! Mascara is a great way to achieve full lashes at any age. Reiss-Andersen recommends a technique similar to painting your nails. This will let you make the most out of your mascara tube. Start at the ends and work your way to the roots. The brush is used to apply mascara to the roots. Finally, clean it. This will ensure that each lash is coated with mascara.

The truth about growth treatments

What can we do to make our lashes grow longer? Both Dr. Wu and Reiss-Andersen view dermatologist-prescribed lash-growing treatments such as Latisse, as lifesavers. Reiss-Andersen says that Latisse is "fantastic because it can improve your quality and possibly help get back those who have fallen out." Dr. Wu mentions that many patients are able to skip mascara after they start using a growth treatment.

Latisse is FDA's only approved medication for treating hypotrichosis. Hypotrichosis is a condition in which your eyelashes become very thin. Latisse is a product that contains "Bimatoprost", an active ingredient well-known for its ability to increase lash growth. Anyone with short or thinning lashes can use Latisse. It may not be suitable for sensitive eyes. Talk to your doctor about possible side effects and how they could affect you. These include irritation, reddening, and/or swelling of the eyes from Latisse or skin darkening. Itching and dryness of the eyes, as well as reddening and drying of the eyelids.
