What To Do About Thin Brittle Or Broken Eyelashes

Any woman who has full glamorous eyelashes may be surprised at what a gift they have. They may even be shocked to find out that eyelashes are a multimillion dollar business. For those of us who suffer with thinning and short eyelashes that are almost brittle to the touch know this all too well.  Let’s face it we live in a pretty superficial society and something as simple as eyelashes can and does greatly affect some women’s self confidence.
 
So what can you do about your lashes?

Eyelashes exist primarily to protect our eyes and to prevent any dust or debris from entering so having a full set of lashes may not as superficial as some may think. If you’re suffering with horrible eyelashes perhaps you’re just going about the problem in the wrong way.  Have you considered trying eyelash growth products?  Unlike mascara or curling these growth enhancers are naturally designed using unique blends of extracts and other naturally sourced ingredients to actually stimulate new growth and not just mask the problem. You may even begin to see real visible results in as little as 1 to 3 weeks after you begin the treatment.

 
Aside from growth enhancers you can also turn to some of the newer mascara’s that have really gone over and above the original task or making eyelashes perk up and stand out. Some mascara companies now take an active approach in eyelash health and are produced using vitamin enriched formulas including amino acids and special conditioner treatments. The combination of ingredients will help to strengthen your lashes hydrating them to reduce brittleness and breakage. The next time you purchase mascara take a look at what’s available and the different functions they can provide. You will notice some being offered with have two separate ends one brush for the mascara itself and the other a potent lash conditioner to be applied after the mascara has been removed.

 
One note worth mentioning if you take your lash health seriously or have been struggling to have longer fuller lashes is the proper removal of all makeup at the end of every day. This often surprises people when they discover just how effective this alone can be in restoring eyelash health.

Now no amount of fancy mascara or growth enhancers can take the place of living a healthy lifestyle and eating a balanced vitamin rich diet. Vitamins A and B among others go a long way towards promoting overall eyelash health. Did you know daily routines like cooking dinner can be hurting your lashes without you even knowing it.  I mentioned earlier that eyelashes are delicate and if you’ve ever opened a hot oven and felt that wave of intense heat as you first reach in you creating a hostile environment for your lashes. That will drastically speed up how quickly they dry out and become brittle. A neat home remedy is to apply a very small amount of Vaseline that will prevent dryness and help condition your lashes. This also works great as an overnight conditioner and is far less expensive than buying specific eyelash conditioners.

 
 The last important aspect to remember is that your lash issue whatever it may be probably bothers you more than anyone else. When you’re buying mascara or growth enhancement products start by testing a small amount on just one eye.  What you want to test for is and reaction or sensitivity you may have after all what’s the point of having those wonderful lashes if your eyes are red and irritated. I would also urge you to be realistic and allow time to achieve results especially when trying out the lash growth products. Be patient, follow good care techniques and live a healthy lifestyle and your lash problems will soon be a thing of the past
