What damages lashes?
Eyelash condition decreases as a result of inadequate care (this is the most frequent reason for their weakening), and by a number of external conditions and changes in our body. Oftentimes, we are the ones to blame for it! Why? Because we deal with eyelashes poorly, forgetting that many treatments to beautify them, in fact, significantly weaken their condition. Here are the most common reasons why lashes are weakening; check if one of them has happened to you – maybe now, you will avoid further damage. The most common reasons why eyelashes worsen are:
– chronic, severe stress
– improper care (mascara with a controversial composition, unsuitable makeup remover)
– smoking
– medication (mainly antibiotics)
– eyelash extensions
– applying artificial eyelashes
– change of seasons
– the use of an eyelash curler
– the use of a heated eyelash curler
– invasive make-up removal
– change of diet (strict diet)
– lack of vitamins
– falling asleep with the makeup on
– frequent rubbing of the eyes

How to take care of lashes and improve their condition?
Among many tips regarding the care of eyelashes, the specialty known for centuries to our grandmothers and great-grandmothers has come to the fore. Castor oil – is it really so good in eyelash care? In this matter, the opinions are divided – many women claim that it works more like a placebo than an eyelash serum.
It is a fact that the treatment with castor oil may take months, and yet, castor oil alone rather protects than regenerates lashes. Nevertheless, it is a good solution if the eyelashes become dry and slightly weakened because it creates a special, occlusive coat on the surface of the hair that protects it from damage and dehydration. It also strengthens the hydro-lipid balance on the surface of the hair and protects its deeper layers from a complete deterioration of the condition.
The downsides of using castor oil include the fact that it is a very thick and sticky substance that should not be applied to your lashes during the day – it not only causes discomfort but can also enter the conjunctival sac and irritate the cornea. Therefore, castor oil should be applied very carefully to your lashline, preferably in the evening before going to bed and in a small amount.
Long, thick lashes – eyelash serum – a strengthening remedy
One of the most significant inventions of recent years is an innovative (created strictly for eyelashes) special serum that comes in the form of an eye-liner. Eyelash serum is extremely effective because it works on the most important part of eyelashes: its bulbs. It’s where every little hair has its beginning and where the decisions about the appearance, condition, and length of eyelashes are made. The more we damage lashes, the more weakened the bulb gets – in effect, they are not powerful enough to keep the eyelash in the sheath, or “produce” a new, strong lash.
Eyelash serum is to be applied just behind their line – the best ones are able to strengthen the bulbs and extend the life of each eyelash in less than a month. Improvement takes place gradually, but invariably and permanently, to finally delight us with thick, voluminous and very long eyelashes, which are firmly embedded in the follicles.
Nowadays, an eyelash serum is, undisputedly, the best remedy that strengthens and intensifies the appearance of our lashes; it collects excellent opinions among women using it and is often referred to as “eyelash in a bottle”. Many women claim that eyelash serum exceeds the eyelash extension application because it provides a similar, but a natural effect of eyelashes – “like butterfly wings”.
