Ways to give your eye lashes the much needed care

Its always a girl's wish to have long, thick and curled eyelashes. But most of us make some common mistakes like excessive rubbing of the eyes or being too aggressive when cleansing off mascara which can also lead to eye lash loss. Also while buying a mascara avoid one that contains ethel alcohol because it’s very drying, causing the lashes to be brittle and resulting in breakage. Look for mascaras that are also free of parabens and phthalates. In order to promote the growth of the lashes you could use a lash conditioning serum that promotes density, length and most importantly, diameter of the natural lashes. In order to maintain healthy lashes, thoroughly clean your face, including the eye area, before going to bed every night. 

Just like you would apply night cream or serum to your face, applying a conditioning serum before bedtime is key. Moisturizing your eyelashes can prevent them from breakage and help them grow faster and stronger, and is one of my best tips on how to care for eyelashes. You can also use natural oils like castor or sweet almond oil. After cleansing before bed, apply a small amount of Vaseline to your lashes using your fingertip. Make sure not to rub the product into your eyes, as it can cause puffy eyes in the morning for some women.

Also Biotin is necessary for cell growth. Your eyelashes are dead skin cells. Care for them by taking a daily biotin supplement that helps with growing healthy skin, hair and nails. If you want your eye lashes to stay curled all through the day one of the simplest things you can do is to apply a waterproof mascara before your regular mascara. A waterproof formula can seal the curl to ensure your lashes won't droop throughout the day.

Never  heat an eyelash curler with a hairdryer and use it, because the skin around the eye is so much thinner and more sensitive than other areas, it is surprisingly easy to burn using this method.While thicker, darker lashes can tolerate a little more heat than finer, lighter lashes, it can be difficult to know just how much heat is being applied to the lashes. And too much can actually cause lashes to break off with the curler when it is squeezed.

Your fingers could be your best eye lash curling option. Warm your fingers up. You can run them under warm water for a few minutes or just rub them together to heat them up.Push up your eyelashes. Take your pointer finger and push your eyelashes up against the top of your eye. Hold the position for at least thirty seconds. Repeat with your lower lashes and your other eye. Apply two coats of mascara to set the curl. Carefully run the wand from roots to tips. If you need to comb your lashes, do so gently so you don't lose your curl.

The most important of all is to treat your eyelashes kindly as after all, they are one of your most important assets. Avoid rubbing your eyes by all means because this can lead to pulling and breaking your lashes. If they feel itchy then try to pat them gently with your finger. You also need to avoid using eyelashes curlers too often because using those curlers frequently will lead your eyelashes to break and fall out.
