Eyelash Care – What You Need to Know


 

Eyelashes prevent eyes from getting affected by sand, dust, water, debris, and just about any tiny item that might cause damage to the eye. Apart from being a protective barrier to your eye area, they are also known to improve the aesthetics of your face. An underlying medical condition such as hypotrichosis might result in lashes falling out or become thin.

Remedies for Eyelash Care

Some of the remedies for eyelash care include, but are not restricted to the following:

Castor Oil

Ricinoleic acid makes most of the castor oil and constitutes about 90% of it. The acid comes with the potential to improve hair strength and growth, thus preventing hair loss. So, it might be considered a suitable option for your lashes.

You can apply one teaspoon of some cold-pressed castor oil as well as a few cotton swabs. Prior to using the oil, it is important to cleanse your lashes with water and make sure to air dry them. You can then dip the swab in the castor oil, applying it to your lower lash lines and upper lash lines. Sleep with the oil on your lashes and rinse with water on waking up.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is considered to be among the most powerful antioxidants, helping in reducing oxidative damage. It is, therefore, helpful in preventing hair loss. What’s more, the tocotrienol content in the vitamin E product might help increase the hair strand growth and multiplication.

You can apply vitamin E topically to your eyelashes. It is much safer to get ingested as an oral supplementation. However, it is better to talk with your doctor before taking the vitamin.

Biotin Supplement

Biotin deficiency will help with the hair loss going on in the scalp, eyelashes, and scalp. Ingesting biotin intake might help in improving the condition. You might want to consult a healthcare professional for the accurate right dosage of the biotin supplements.

The combined therapy of all these options might help in taking care of your thinning eyelashes. However, you might need to try some lifestyle modifications as well to prevent any damage to your eyelashes. For example, you might not want to use any harsh chemical ingredients around your eyes, and avoid rubbing your face on the towel.
