The girl’s long and thick eyelashes are a reason for envy of other women and a reason for admiration for men. And it’s not about extended eyelashes, but about natural ones, which, unfortunately, are not given to every girl.
Therefore, means to strengthen the eyelashes should lie in the makeup bag of each caring for a girl. Moreover, they can be not only from the category of "professional", but also ordinary pharmacy or even folk.
And what means to strengthen eyelashes, according to customers, are the most worthy, we will consider further.
Causes of Eyelash Loss
Loss of eyelashes, singly or even in bundles, mainly depends on the internal state of the body. The lack of vitamins, micro and macro elements is reflected primarily in the external state. Therefore, it is so necessary to ensure that nutrition is balanced.
But this is far from the only reason. Provoke eyelash loss can:
- regular use of mascara;
- poor-quality removal of cosmetics from the eyes at night;
- the use of low-quality makeup remover;
- regular use of curling irons;
- frequent extension of artificial eyelashes;
- bad ecology;
- malnutrition;
- hormonal disruptions;
- frequent depression and stress;
- weakening of the body after a recent birth;
- a disease such as hypotrichosis.
Therefore, before you run to buy a good tool for strengthening eyelashes, it is worth doing your health. After all, no matter how effective the remedy, without internal treatment of the body, the effect of it will not be long.
It is also worth considering age. The older the woman, the less and paler the eyelashes become. This is mainly due to the depletion of the body, with hormonal imbalance and other age-related changes.
