Low on Lashes
Some of us have really thick eyelashes, and some have thin lashes and sometimes gaps between the follicles. Eyelash growth has four stages: growing, resting, shedding and regrowing, but the process tends to slow down with age, and some follicles can stop growing altogether. Other than age, here are some major factors that can limit eyelash growth:
Rubbing eyelashes too hard or scrubbing hard when removing eye makeup
Heredity
Medical conditions
Some beauty products, medications and treatments
Talking to a good dermatologist if you've noticed that your eyelashes are thinning over time so the Doctor can help you find the root of the problem and a remedy to stop the problem. I personally experienced this problem while i was working as a News presenter for a TVChannel where one had to wear heavy eye makeup, i had water running from my eyes after they applied the makeup and also due to the high intensity lighting. My Ophthalmologist suggested i stop wearing even kajal, let alone the Mascara or Eyeliner. She said my eyes didn't allow any foreign particles and hence the reaction. So, sometimes, makeup affects our eyes even if we use it the first time.
