Your Guide To Longer Eyelashes 

Lush lashes are coming your way. 

POSTED BY ELLA PROSSER

Eyelash lifts and extensions can work wonders, but it's time to begin your natural lash growth journey.

Long lashes can elevate your beauty with and without makeup. Whether you’re recovering from months of extensions or simply want to enhance your lashes, here are a few things you can do to achieve the lengths of your dreams.

Invest in an Eyelash Serum

A high-quality eyelash serum can significantly transform your lashes. When formulated with the correct ingredients, a serum can help you achieve healthier, thicker, fuller, longer lashes.

Look for serums containing:

  • Peptides 
  • Biotin 
  • Panthenol
  • Hyaluronic Acid
  • Keratin

When selecting your serum, there are also some ingredients to avoid:

  • Prostaglandin Analogues (can reduce the fat surrounding your eye)
  • Isopropyl Cloprostenate (can darken the eyes and cause irritation)
  • Ethylcloprostenolamide (can make eyes appear dark and sunken)
  • Bitamoprost (can darken the eyes and cause inflammation)

This is not an exhaustive list of ingredients to look out for, so do your research before purchasing a serum. Even when using a safe option, apply it correctly and avoid getting the product directly in your eyes. 

A popular lash serum with a great mix of safe ingredients is the Glow For It “Lash Growth Serum”. It’s clinically tested, vegan, and cruelty free, with many satisfied customers who report visible results.

Experiment With Natural Oils

Alternatively, you can use natural oils to influence lash growth. The top 4 oils proven to produce results are:

  • Castor Oil
  • Coconut Oil
  • Olive Oil
  • Almond Oil

Concerning lash growth, castor oil is the most effective. However, all these oils have nourishing properties that promote lash health, condition, and protect.

Embrace No Mascara Days 

If you wear makeup every day, it’s a good idea to give your lashes a break from time to time. Wearing mascara daily can cause breakage and lead to dry, irritated eyes. Although it may be tough to put down your favorite mascara, your eyelashes will thank you. Give them time to rest, recover, and grow in their natural state.

Remove Your Makeup Gently

When you do wear makeup, you must remove it carefully. Use cleansers and face washes that are gentle on the skin, and be cautious not to get them in your eyes. 

When removing mascara, use a cotton pad soaked in micellar water and softly wipe over your eyes until all products are removed. This method is much better than using a makeup wipe, which can tug at your lashes and often requires more pressure to remove makeup.

Never sleep in your makeup, and avoid harsh removal methods!
